Conformation changes and folding of proteins mediated by Davidov's soliton
Shay Caspi, Eshel Ben-Jacob
We suggest that Davidov's solitons, propagating through the backbone of a protein, can mediate conformational transition and folding of a protein to its native state. A simple toy…

Soliton mediated protein folding
S. Caspi, E. Ben-Jacob
A novel approach to protein folding dynamics is presented. We suggest that folding of protein may be mediated via interaction with solitons which propagate along the molecular chai…
