Title: Quantum effects and magnetism in the spatially distributed DNA molecules,
Abstract: Electronic and magnetic properties of DNA structures doped by simple and
transition d- and f-metal ions (Gd, La, Cu, Zn, Au) are reviewed. Both one- and
two dimensional systems are considered. A particular attention is paid to
gadolinium and copper doped DNA systems, their unusual magnetism being treated.
The problem of classical and quantum transport (including transfer of genetic
information during replication and transcription) and electron localization in
biological systems is discussed.
