## Abstract

A simple and surprisingly accurate description of spectral diffusion in deeply frozen globular proteins is constructed directly using the concept of ultrametricity of protein dynamics. Earlier the similar concept has been used for successful description of ligand-rebinding kinetics of myoglobin at temperatures about of 200 K. Hence the ultrametricity offers a universal background for the protein dynamics in a wide range of scales of protein motions.

## 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.
