  Renormalization group method is applied to the study of vibrational energy
transfer in protein molecule. An effective Lagrangian and associated equations
of motion to describe the resonant energy transfer are analyzed in terms of the
first-order perturbative renormalization group theory that has been developed
as a unified tool for global asymptotic analysis. After the elimination of
singular terms associated with the Fermi resonance, amplitude equations to
describe the slow dynamics of vibrational energy transfer are derived, which
recover the result obtained by a technique developed in nonlinear optics [S.J.
Lade, Y.S. Kivshar, Phys. Lett. A 372 (2008) 1077].
