Abstract This paper reports a double helix model of charge transfer in DNA molecule. The calculated results show that the transmission characteristics of DNA are not only related to the longitudinal transfer but also to the helicity of molecule. It finds that there are four transmission bands centred at 0.92, 3.07, 7.75 and 8.87eV, also the width and intensity of bands corresponding to the helix direction are less than that of the longitudinal direction. With the increase of hopping energy, transmission bands become wide so that the transmission ability is enhanced.

Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
