    Notes: Abstract Energy band structures of one-dimensional (HF)n- and (H2O)n-chains have been calculated (1) by extrapolation of CNDO/2-MO levels to infinite chain length and (2) by the CNDO/2 crystal orbital (CO) method. In the CO-calculations interactions up to fifth neighbours have been taken into account. Both types of calculations were performed using experimental geometries and CNDO/2 minimum geometries of the corresponding dimers (HF)2 and (H2O)2. With the same geometries CO calculations on two-dimensional sheets of hydrogen bonded chains were performed too. Due to end-effects the extrapolated MO bands are much broader than the bands obtained by the CO method. In the CO calculations further neighbour interactions play a non-negligible role and hence the nearest neighbour approximation is not sufficient for an accurate description of crystals containing hydrogen bonds. MO calculations on one-dimensional chains of both systems show that the hydrogen bond energies increase with the number of monomers indicating the presence of cooperative effects. The hydrogen bond energies calculated with the CO method are usually somewhat larger than those extrapolated from the MO results. In three-dimensional networks of (H2O)n, however, the additional stabilization of clusters with respect to dimers is drastically diminished.

    Notes: Theoretical values are reported for the specific conductivity, charge carrier mobilities, and delocalized free paths in β-polyglycine using the parallel-chain pleated sheet conformation and the all-valence electron energy band structure obtained previously. The mobilities are found to be much larger along the polypeptide backbones than in the direction of the hydrogen bonds. This indicates a mechanism of conduction in which the former path is favored for electronic delocalization. The preexponential factor of the specific conductivity obtained theoretically agrees well with experimental results.

    Notes: The results of a CNDO/2 all-valence electron crystal orbital study are reported for the sugar-phosphate chain of DNA. The valence and conduction bandwidths are found to be large enough to make electronic delocalization through this backbone possible. Different mechanisms for charge carrier transport in DNA are compared on the basis of the electron and hole effective masses. Conduction along the backbone seems to be at least as probable as through the aperiodic system of the superimposed nucleotide bases.
