Spin-orbit interactions and spin selectivity for tunneling electron transfer in DNA. (a) Schematic of DNA molecule with orbitals for electron transport. The pz orbitals are perpendicular to the base planes and coupled by Vppπ Slater–Koster matrix elements. (b) Plot of spin asymmetry Pz as a function of scattering barrier length a and input momentum k. Adapted with permission from ref (141). Copyright 2020 American Physical Society.
