A Kronig-Penney Model of Salts of DNA

Philip Rosen

ABSTRACT

A one dimensional Kronig-Penney model for a salt like Na DNA is given. The helical periodicity is treated in a manner suggested by Tinoco and Woody. Using data on the semiconductor band gap, we estimate the strength of the potential barrier. The energy limits of the ten bands filled by 20{pi} electrons per unit cell are calculated and exhibited in Table I.
