Sequencing-independent delocalization in a DNA-like double chain with base pairing

The question of whether or not DNA is intrinsically conducting is still a challenge. The ongoing debate on DNA molecules as an electronic material has so far underestimated a key distinction of the system: the role of base pairing in opposition to correlations along each chain. We show that a disordered base paired double chain presents truly or, at least, effectively delocalized states. This effect is irrespective to the sequencing along each chain.
