Abstract
We have measured the electrical transport along individual {\\lambda}-DNA molecules stretched across a set of parallel nanoelectrodes using the four-probe method. Up to a relative humidity (RH) of 78%, we find no evidence for electrical transport along {\\lambda}-DNAs. However, for RHs above 79%, we measure considerable current. The electrical conductance of {\\lambda}-DNA increases exponentially with increasing RH. For a long {\\lambda}-DNA molecule with a random base sequence, our results indicate that the current flows through dense water layers surrounding DNA and is dominated by ion transport rather than by electron transport through {\\lambda}-DNA itself. © 2011 Elsevier B.V.
