Hopping between bases of similar redox potentials is the mechanism by which charge transport occurs through DNA. This was shown by rate measurements performed with double strands 1-3. This mechanism explains why hole transfer displays a strong sequence dependence, and postulates that electron transfer in unperturbed DNA should not be dependent on the sequence.
