A coupling model between the hydrogen-bonded chains to describe the helix polypeptide chain is suggested. The kink group, envelope-soliton and breather groups are obtained. In which symmetric and asymmetric kink groups correspond to the contraction (or expansion) and the twisting deformed regions of helix polypeptide chain, respectively. The twisting deformation produces the intrinsical piezoelectric effect in helix polypeptide chain. The motion of asymmetric envelope-soliton group will result in the wriggle of the helix polypeptide chain, just like that of an earthworm. It is shown that the twisting deformed structure of helix polypeptide chain is more stable than the uniform helix structure and the static attraction between the extra charges arising from deformation of helix polypeptide chain is advantageous to fold protein chain into the tertiary structure. The qualitative descriptions for the lumped structure of myosin molecule, the piezoelectricity of bone and the mechanism of muscle contraction are given by means of soliton mechanism in the helix polypeptide chain.
