title: One-dimensional harmonic model for biomolecules.
abstract: Following in spirit a paper by Rosen, we propose a one-dimensional harmonic model for biomolecules. Energy bands with gaps of the order of semi-conductor gaps are found. The method is discussed for general symmetric and periodic potential functions.
