Intense work on discrete breathers or intrinsic localized modes in recent years has revealed a wealth of new properties of classical energy localization. Relaxation and mobility in particular may be two of the critical links with biomolecular processes. We review some of the basic discrete breather properties that we think are pertinent to biomolecules and make conjectures as to their possible biological utility.
近年来,对离散呼吸子或本征局域模的深入研究揭示了经典能量局域化的许多新特性。特别是弛豫和迁移率可能是与生物分子过程的两个关键联系。我们回顾了一些我们认为与生物分子相关的基本离散呼吸子特性,并对它们可能的生物学效用进行了推测。
