One of the central problems of molecular electronics is to understand electron conduction properties when a functional molecule is interfaced with external electrodes and put under external bias and gate potentials. These properties are influenced by the molecule-electrode interaction as well as by the structure of the functional region of the device. In this thesis, we investigate from first-principles the transport properties of a number of molecular-scale systems, and try to relate the observed features to both the atomic and electronic structure.<br>We start with a detailed analysis of tra
