A new experimental approach to the problem of coherent long-                    range vibrational transport of energy in protein alpha-                         helical segments is proposed.  Previous approaches have                         concentrated on the optical properties of the protein, the                      carrier of the energy.  In this method priority is given to                     making the initial and final locations of the energy well                       defined.  A time-of-flight measurement in the picosecond                        regime then establishes whether the energy is transferred                       from a donor to the acceptor with a significant probability,                    and, if it is, the speed of propagation in the protein.                         Preliminary computations and experiments have established the                   conditions under which transport by this mechanism should be                    detectable.  The proposal is to set up appropriately labelled                   protein segments and a relevant model system and to make the                    experimental search.
