Charge-carrier (electron and hole) mobilities of polyguanylic acid have been computed using the deformation-potential approximation from ab initio Hartree-Fock band structure. Mobilities resulting from electron scattering on torsional acoustic phonons are calculated and compared to those obtained from a previous calculation [F. B. Beleznay et al., J. Chem. Phys. 119, 5690 (2003)] considering interaction with compressional phonons. The simultaneous effect of the two independent scatterings is also calculated.
