Effect of noise on DNA sequencing via transverse electronic transport.

abstract：:When a dissolved macromolecule is in chemical equilibrium with a free ionic species, the charge configuration, and hence the dipole vector, of the macromolecule is fluctuating. Expressions for the static dielectric constant and the relaxation spectrum of such a mixture are here derived in terms of the components of th...
