## Abstract

An analysis on the discrete versus continuous views of kinetics of macromolecules is presented. It is shown that the discrete approach traditional to biochemistry is insufficient for understanding the dynamics of protein molecules in aqueous solution. A continous view based on the Brownian dynamics in energy landscape offers a more comprehensive description of the biological macromolecules. Two examples, one on protein folding and one on channel gating, are discussed.

## Recorded benchmark results

A research result applies to its stated dataset, split, metric and evaluation configuration. Compare like-for-like settings, preserve the metric's unit and direction, and distinguish paper-reported results from independent reproduction. The best result recorded here is not a claim of exhaustive, current global coverage.
