Abstract
Internal oscillations of an alpha-helix soliton are studied numerically on a modified version of Davydov's equations and analytically on an approximating system of coupled nonlinear Schrödinger equations. The numerical results are used to interpret lines in recently measured laser-Raman spectra of metabolically active E. coli. Agreement between measured and calculated lines appears to be within the uncertainties of computation and measurement.
