When working on complex molecular modeling projects, there’s often a need to open and compare several molecular structures, run different types of simulations, or organize exploratory paths independently. For researchers using SAMSON, knowing how to work efficiently with multiple documents…

If you’re a molecular modeler, you know how even the simplest software upgrades or new tools can throw off your workflow. Each platform has its own interfaces, buttons tucked into menus, and features waiting to be discovered—if only you knew…

When presenting molecular systems, whether in talks, videos, or tutorials, it’s often not just about the structures themselves—it’s also about how you show them. Smooth camera movement can make a huge difference in the clarity and engagement of your visualizations.…

Every molecular modeler has experienced it: the repetitive tasks that slow you down—selecting residues, hiding surfaces, zooming into a binding site. While necessary, these routines often eat up time you’d rather spend diving into molecular insights. If you’ve ever wished…

For many scientists exploring complex molecular systems, simulations can quickly become computationally intensive. Whether you’re studying membrane proteins, large biomolecular complexes, or running long timescale molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, the need for scalable resources often goes beyond what a typical…

Understanding how molecular structures change their conformation during biological processes is a key challenge in molecular modeling. This is especially relevant for large and complex structures like the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein. One of the most frequent user pains among molecular…

For many molecular modelers, a recurring challenge is the dispersion of tools across multiple platforms. You might be using different software for docking, visualization, analysis, and data access. Each tool has its strengths, but switching between them adds friction to…

For molecular modelers working with GROMACS, managing molecular dynamics parameters across different simulation steps can be a time sink. If you’re frequently switching between projects, tuning parameters, or experimenting with different equilibration conditions, then manually reconfiguring parameter sets for each…

Molecular modelers often spend excessive time manually navigating complex molecular documents just to select or isolate the nodes they are interested in. Whether you’re trying to highlight a ligand, isolate a group of residues, or analyze a subset of hydrogens,…
