On the kinks and dynamical phase transitions of alpha-helix protein chains

Condensed Matter 2009-10-28 v3 q-bio

Abstract

Heuristic insights into a physical picture of Davydov's solitonic model of the one-dimensional protein chain are presented supporting the idea of a non-equilibrium competition between the Davydov phase and a complementary, dynamical- `ferroelectric' phase along the chain
