Abstract
Molecular dynamics simulations of the RN24 peptide, which includes a diverse set of structurally heterogeneous states, are carried out in explicit solvent. Two approaches are employed and compared directly under identical simulation conditions. Specifically, we examine sampling by two individual long trajectories (microsecond timescale) and many shorter (MS) uncoupled trajectories. Statistical analysis of the structural properties indicates a qualitative agreement between these approaches. Microsecond timescale sampling gives large uncertainties on most structural metrics, while the shorter timescale of MS simulations results in slight structural memory for beta-structure starting states. Additionally, MS sampling detects numerous transitions on a relatively short timescale that are not observed in microsecond sampling, while long simulations allow for detection of a few transitions on significantly longer timescales. A correlation between the complex free energy landscape and the kinetics of the equilibrium is highlighted by principal component analysis on both simulation sets. This report highlights the increased precision of the MS approach when studying the kinetics of complex conformational change, while revealing the complementary insight and qualitative agreement offered by far fewer individual simulations on significantly longer timescales.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
