Three‐coupled discrete nonlinear Schrödinger equations, which describe the dynamics of the three hydrogen bonding spines in the alpha helical proteins with the interspine coupling at the discrete level, are investigated. Binary Bell polynomials are applied to construct the bilinear forms and bilinear Bäcklund transformation of those equations. Propagation characteristics and interactions of the bound‐state solitons are discussed. Bound states of two and three bright solitons arise when all of them propagate in parallel. Elastic interaction between the bound‐state solitons and one bright soliton is given. Increase of the dipole‐dipole interaction energy can lead to the increase of the soliton velocity, that is, the one‐interaction period becomes shorter.
