Abstract: Bio-energy transport in the living systems is a basic problem for the life science. It is related to transport of the energy released in APT hydrolysis along the protein molecules, and is determined by dynamic properties of the protein molecules. According to the distribution of ATP molecules and its features of hy- drolysis and structure properties of protein molecules we proposed a new theory of bio-energy transport in protein molecules based on the difficulties and problems of original Davydov model. In this new model we represented the collective excitation of vibrational quanta of amide-I by a two-quantum quasi-coherent wave function, at the same time, both displacement of amino acid residues arising from the vibration of amide-Is and relative displacement of neighboring amino acids caused by resonant interaction between neighboring amides were included in the new Hamiltonian. We obtained that the new soliton transported the bio-energy obtained from the new theory is completely different from Davydov soliton, and thermally stable at biological temperature 300 K, in this case its lifetime is about 10 –10 second, in which the new soliton can transport over more than one thousand of amino acid residues in protein molecules. This shows that the soliton is possibly a carrier of the bio-energy transport, and can play an important role in biological processes. Therefore, the new theory is available and valuable to bio
