Abstract: A numerical method is used to study the dynamics of a model for the transport of the energy in α-helix proteins proposed by the author.The result shows that there exist static and moving localized modes in the model which may provide an alternative mechanism for the energy transport in α-helix proteins.

Key words: exciton, α-helix proteins, discrete nonlinear equation
