We employ two Tight-Binding (TB) approaches to study the electronic structureand hole or electron transfer in B-DNA monomer polymers and dimer polymers madeup of $N$ monomers (base pairs): (I) at the base-pair level, using the on-siteenergies of base pairs and the hopping integrals between successive base pairs,i.e., a wire model and (II) at the single-base level, using the on-siteenergies of the bases and the hopping integrals between neighboring bases,i.e., an \textit{extended} ladder model since we also include diagonalhoppings. We solve a system of $MD$ ("matrix dimension") coupled equations [(I)$MD$ = $N$, (II) $MD$ = $2N$] for the time-independent problem, and a system of$MD$ coupled $1^\text{st}$ order differential equations for the time-dependentproblem. We study the HOMO and the LUMO eigenspectra, the occupationprobabilities, the Density of States (DOS) and the HOMO-LUMO gap as well as themean over time probabilities to find the carrier at each site [(I) base pair or(II) base)], the Fourier spectra, which reflect the frequency content of chargetransfer (CT) and the pure mean transfer rates from a certain site to another.The two TB approaches give coherent, complementary aspects of electronicproperties and charge transfer in B-DNA monomer polymers and dimer polymers.
