    A simple system of ordinary differential equations is introduced which has an application to the dynamics of small molecules, molecular crystals, self-trapping in amorphous semiconductors, and globular proteins. Analytical, numerical and perturbation methods are used to study the properties of stationary solutions. General solution trajectories can be either sinusoidal, periodic, quasiperiodic or chaotic.
