Özet
DNA has emerged as a promising molecular system for nanoscale electronics owing to its self–assembly, programmability, and π–orbital delocalization. Here, we investigate the quantum charge transport behavior of a canonical 12–base–pair B–DNA duplex (RCSB ID: 102d, 5′–CGCAAATTTGCG–3′) and its Schiff-base ligand–bound complexes. The ligand, 2–methoxy–4–((2–(4–(3–methyl–3–phenylcyclobutyl)thiazol–2–yl)hydrazono)methyl)phenol (C22H23N3O2S), was synthesized and structurally characterized via NMR and single–crystal X–ray diffraction. Quantum transport properties were computed using density functional theory combined with the nonequilibrium Green’s function (DFT–NEGF) formalism including decoherence corrections. Transmission spectra Teff(E) and conductance G(EF) were analyzed for bare and ligand–modified DNA systems. HOMO orbitals were found to localize strongly on the …
