21. We consider θ as a parameter, the equilibrium value of which is determined by the inter-base interactions within the molecule. As we are interested in the magnetic-field dependence of the energies of DNA, we consider only the contributions from the hopping electrons to the energy.

24. A similar model of non-interacting electrons was studied earlier (Refs.) where only the positive hopping integrals were considered and DNA was found to be always paramagnetic.
