A sound result: Calculations have demonstrated a strong influence of acoustic modes on the conductance of double-stranded DNA (transmission spectrum of a duplex in its ideal B-DNA conformation is shown in red, that with deformations along DNA acoustic modes in green). The observed temperature independence of the conductivity at and above room temperature arises from a high overall population of such modes above the Debye temperature.
