QUANTUM-THEORY OF VIBRON SOLITON

A quantum mechanical treatment of Takeno model for energy transport in protein is presented and the cubic anharmonicity of the hydrogen-bond ed interaction is also taken into account. Under the continuum approxi mation, two coupled nonlinear differential equations are obtained, and then exact and approximate solitary wave solutions are found. The ide al parameters for protein are used to show whether the soliton solutio ns can exist for real protein molecules.
