Creating effective molecular animations often involves more than just showing atoms and molecules moving around. Sometimes, it’s just as important to hide elements at specific points—to guide attention, reduce clutter, or allow a progressive reveal of complex systems. If you’ve…

When working with protein modeling pipelines, one task that can quickly become repetitive and error-prone is formatting and cleaning your input structures. Whether you’re setting up simulations, docking experiments, or dataset-wide screening tasks, the protein structures you start with need…

Predicting the structure of protein-ligand complexes from NMR data often requires significant manual effort, especially when dealing with unassigned methyl peaks. The combinatorial nature of the problem can quickly become overwhelming: Which methyl belongs where? How do distance restraints from…

When presenting complex molecular models, timing is everything. Whether you’re guiding students through a conformational change or highlighting a catalytic site in a biomolecule, viewers need time to absorb key visuals. This is where the Pause animation in SAMSON becomes…

Visualizing molecular systems over time is a key aspect of effective scientific communication, especially when building presentations or educational material. One frequent need among molecular modelers is to illustrate the gradual disappearance of parts of a system—say, to focus attention…

Building accurate models of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) for simulations or experimental planning can be time-consuming, especially when dealing with multi-walled configurations. For molecular modelers exploring structural, mechanical, or transport properties of CNT-based systems, being able to quickly generate these models…
