SummaryHeuristic insights into a physical picture of Davydov’s solitonic model of the one-dimensional protein chain are presented supporting the idea of a non-equilibrium competition between the Davydov phase and a complementary, dynamical-«ferroelectric» phase along the chain.

The helical binding pattern is a universal feature of the κ-helix conformation, present within all the major target families - SH3, WW, profilin, MHC-II, EVH1, and GYF domains, and it is found that they are characterized by a distinctive rotational angle along the helical axis.

Davydov's model of solitons in alpha-helix protein chains is shown to display features of self-organized criticality (SOC) as a consequence of considering random peptide group displacements from their (periodic) equilibrium positions along a chain.
