The current status of the Davydov/Scott model for energy transfer in proteins is reviewed.
After a brief introduction to the theoretical framework and to the basic results, the problems of …

Femtosecond infrared pump-probe spectroscopy of the NH mode of a stable α-helix reveals
two excited-state absorption bands, which disappear upon unfolding of the helix. A …

This paper reviews our experimental and theoretical efforts toward understanding vibrational
self-trapping of the amide I and N–H mode of crystalline acetanilide (ACN), other similar …

The chemistry and crystal structure of tetravalent cation phosphates, including that of
actinides was reviewed several times until 1985. Later, new compounds were synthesized …

In one-dimensional quantum lattice models with open boundaries, we find and study
localization at the lattice edge. We show that edge-localized eigenstates can be found in …

The influences of electromagnetic fields (EMFs) on bio-energy transport and its mechanism
of changes are investigated through analytic and numerical simulation and experimentation …

The vibron dynamics associated to amide-I vibrations in a three-dimensional α-helix is
described according to a generalized Davydov model. The helix is modeled by three spines …

A numerical approach is proposed to compute the quantum eigenmodes of a nonlinear
Klein-Gordon lattice. In agreement with other studies on different lattices, nonlinearity is …

Wave packet dynamics in eight dimensions and for eight coupled “diabatic” states are
discussed in using the multi configuration time-dependent Hartree method. For this purpose …

The two-vibron dynamics associated to amide-I vibrations in a three-dimensional (3D) α-
helix is described according to a generalized Davydov model. The helix is modeled by three …
