Abstract
Atoms unite into a giant molecule with a given name “Macromolecule”. A life system adopts it for gene inheritance, energy storage and organ construction. Physicists recognize its chain-like structure. Brownian motion makes its soft materials. The key to understand its behavior is the mimic of chain conformation to the trajectory of random walks. Therefore as the paradigms, the Gaussian function describes the entropy of single-chain conformation, and the Flory-Huggins lattice theory calculates the entropy of multi-chain conformation.
