The mechanism for energy and signal transport in proteins as suggested by Davydov is discussed. The idea is based on a coupling of amide-I oscillators to acoustic phonons in a hydrogen-bonded chain. Results as obtained with the usually used ansatze are discussed. The quality of these states for an a
The lifetime of Davydov solitons in a one-dimensional system is studied theoretically. The process of thermalization and the properties of solitons at finite temperature are investigated and the processes of soliton creation and disintegration are discussed.
