Abstract: The average active resistances and capacitances of nucleotides and hydrogen bonds in the DNA molecule were calculated based on the comparison of the theoretical model with known experimental data. A circuit similar to the structure of the DNA molecule in terms of electrical conductivity was designed to study the currents and voltages at different parts of the equivalent electrical circuit of the DNA molecule. It is shown that for DNA segments consisting of one hundred fifty or more pairs of nucleotides, the model of an infinite electrical circuit with repeating links can be applied.

Keywords: DNA molecule, nucleotides, hydrogen bonds, electric circuit, electrical resistance, electrical capacity.
