No will to wander : Triplet–triplet electronic energy transfer in polyA–polyT DNA sequences was studied by using semiempirical quantum‐chemical methods coupled to classical molecular‐dynamics simulations. Triplet excited states in DNA were found to be almost completely localized on single nucleobases; the characteristic time for their migration along the A–A and T–T stacks (see picture) was found to be 0.8 and 6.4 ns.
