Soliton/exciton transport in proteins
Abstract
The study of electron/proton transport in α -helix sections of proteins have illustrated the existence of soliton-like mechanisms. Recently, Ciblis and Cosic extended investigation to the existence of possible like soliton-type mechanisms in other parts of the protein. They used Quantum Hamiltonian analysis to investigate. In this paper, we investigate the same problem but we use Classical Hamiltonian analysis in our investigation.
