Abstract
1. One may wonder if the H atoms involved in an extended hydrogen-bonded amide system can become dynamically coupled at low temperature and at higher temperatures can display the phenomenology typical of the order-disorder transitions. From what we already know about H-bonding [1], if this effect can occur at all, it should be observed in highly polarizable H-bonded groups; Amide group networks are therefore good candidates [2] and are particularly interesting in view of developments of biological significance.
