The hole transfer rates in the DNA/DNA B‐form duplex and DNA/2′‐OMeRNA A‐form duplex were measured which occurred in the time range of ≈100 μs. The hole transfer rates in the A‐form duplexes were slower and more strongly dependent on the temperature compared to those in the B‐form duplexes, suggesting that the A‐form is more rigid than the B‐form duplex in this time scale.
