Molecular modeling can be a challenging field, requiring users to grasp tools, workflows, and interfaces before reaching tangible results. Whether you’re new to SAMSON or need to learn a specific workflow quickly, interactive tutorials can be an invaluable resource. This…

The process of analyzing molecular models effectively often hinges on precise node selection—whether that involves atoms, residues, or structural groups. For molecular modelers, manual selection can be time-consuming, error-prone, or outright impractical when working with complex systems. That’s where SAMSON’s…

Displaying complex molecular structures can often be a visual challenge for researchers and molecular modelers. When visualizing detailed models, achieving a clear depth perception is crucial to understanding spatial relationships within molecules. This is where ambient occlusion becomes a valuable…

One of the challenges molecular modelers often face is accurately representing ligand flexibility during docking simulations. Flexible ligands are essential for realistic docking results, but managing rotatable bonds can dramatically increase computation times. In this blog post, we’ll delve into…

For molecular modelers, few things are more frustrating than spending hours on a simulation or docking workflow, only to realize errors in the protein structure led to inaccurate or unusable results. Whether you’re running molecular dynamics simulations, docking studies, or…

For molecular modelers, getting a system ready for realistic molecular dynamics simulations can be a complex and time-intensive task. Equilibration, the step where a system reaches the desired temperature or density before simulation, is critical. Among these, NVT equilibration, or…

As a molecular modeler, sharing your research and molecular designs with colleagues can sometimes be a cumbersome process. Whether you’re collaborating on a multidisciplinary project, seeking feedback, or providing results, ensuring that your data is accessible, secure, and centralized is…

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are a cornerstone of modern nanotechnology, with applications ranging from creating nanodevices and sensors to simulations of material properties or drug delivery systems. However, building accurate models of single-walled or multi-walled CNTs can be a time-consuming challenge…

Visualizing molecular models often comes with the challenge of conveying depth and focus effectively. For molecular modelers, it can sometimes be hard to highlight specific regions of interest when the entire model is displayed in full clarity. This is where…
