For the sequences, the density of state was calculated and it was compared with the density of state of a piece of human DNA Ch22. After, the electronic transmittance was investigated. In both situations, the Hamiltonians are different. On the analysis of density of state, it was employed the Dyson equation. On the transmittance, the time independent Schr?dinger equation was used. In both cases, the tight-binding model was applied. The density of states obtained through Rudin-Shapiro sequence reveal to be similar to the density of state for the Ch22. And for transmittance only until the fifth generation of the Fibonacci sequence was acquired. We have considered long range correlations in both transport mechanism / Esta disserta??o analisa a influ?ncia do esqueleto a??car-fosfato no transporte eletr?nico na mol?cula de DNA de fita dupla, com o sequenciamento dos pares de base modelado por dois tipos de seq??ncias quasi-peri?dicas: Rudin-Shapiro e Fibonacci. Para ambas as seq??ncias, foram calculadas as densidades de estado e comparadas com a densidade de estado de um trecho do DNA humano Ch 22. Em seguida, foi investigada a transmit?ncia eletr?nica. Nos dois casos, as Hamiltonianas s?o distintas. Na an?lise da densidade de estado foi empregada a equa??o de Dyson. Na transmit?ncia foi feito uso da equa??o de Schr?dinger independente do tempo. Em ambos os casos, foi utilizado o modelo tight-binding. Os resultados para a densidade de estado foram mais satisfat?rios para a seq??ncia de Rudin-Shapiro, que forneceu um perfil muito pr?ximo do perfil da densidade de estado para o Ch22. A transmit?ncia foi calculada somente para a seq??ncia de Fibonacci at? a quinta gera??o. Nestes dois mecanismos de transporte, as correla??es s?o de longo alcance
