• Numerical and semi-analytical supratransmission threshold of DNSE with higher order nonlinearity have been performed.
• The saturable higher order nonlinearity parameter reduces the threshold amplitude of supratransmission.
• Multibreathers can be transmitted or supratransmitted.
We show that the transport of vibrational energy in protein chains modeled by the Discrete Nonlinear Schrödinger equation (DNSE) with saturable nonlinearities can be done through the nonlinear supratransmission phenomenon: we find numerically and semi-analytically threshold amplitudes beyond which the wave propagation takes place within the molecular chains. Subsequently, it is shown that the saturable higher order nonlinearity parameter reduces the supratransmission threshold amplitude. We also prove that the discrete gap multibreathers can be transmitted or supratransmitted according to the frequency belonging to the lower forbidden band gap. More precisely, the discrete gap multibreathers are supratransmitted close to the edge of the lower forbidden band.
