The question whether dissipative bio-molecular systems can support efficient coherent (phase-conserving) charge transport is raised again following recent experiments onelectron-energy transfer in bio-molecules. We formulate conditions under which the current due to coherent ballistic resonant charge transport through DNA molecular junctions can be measured in spite of coupling to a dissipative environment.
