Abstract

A theory is proposed for the nonlinear excited states in the hydrogen bonded chain of peptide groups, where the interaction between intramolecular and intermolecular vibrations is taken into account. It is an interpolation between the behaviour in two limiting cases, i.e. the vibron soliton in the subsonic region, and the acoustic soliton in the supersonic region. Using this framework, the mechanism of energy migration in hydrogen bonded systems of peptide groups is analysed.
