We study the propagation of α-helix polarons in a model describing the nonadiabatic interaction between an electron and a lattice of quantum mechanical oscillators at physiological temperature. We show that when excited by a subpicosecond electric pu... Read More about Directed polaron propagation in linear polypeptides induced by intramolecular vibrations and external electric pulses.
