Abstract

The Davydov model describes a possible mechanism for energy transfer in protein α-helices. These are secondary structures that occur in many proteins when a linear sequence of amino acids is folded into a helix, which is stabilized by hydrogen-bonded spines, i.e. one-dimensional chains with the following structure:
