title: Ballistic charge transport through bio-molecules in a dissipative environment.
abstract: The question whether dissipative bio-molecular systems can support efficient coherent (phase-conserving) charge transport is raised again following recent experiments on electron-energy transfer in bio-molecules. In this work we formulate conditions under which the current due to coherent ballistic resonant charge transport through DNA molecular junctions can be measured in spite of coupling to the dissipative environment.
