Working with molecular modeling platforms can be a rewarding experience—until your workspace becomes cluttered or you struggle to enable the specific tools you need. For users of SAMSON, a key challenge is often knowing how to effectively manage SAMSON Extensions:…

When preparing molecular presentations or animations, one common goal is to highlight a specific part of a structure. Whether introducing a binding site, focusing on a key residue, or guiding attention across a molecular assembly, modelers often look for ways…

Creating engaging molecular animations is essential for presentations, teaching, or visually exploring structural transformations. But here’s a common challenge molecular modelers face: how to precisely control the motion of atoms over time without writing complex scripts or using several disconnected…

When building molecular models, one of the recurring challenges is color choice. Molecular modelers often use color to indicate atom types, molecular properties, interactions, or structural information. But picking colors isn’t just about aesthetics — it’s about clarity, contrast, and…

For anyone working in molecular modeling or cheminformatics, you’ve likely encountered this recurring task: you have a list of SMILES strings—with or without names—and you need to quickly generate 3D molecular structures to start simulations, visualize binding poses or prepare…

When preparing scientific animations and presentations of molecular structures, one recurring challenge is managing visual complexity. Molecular modelers often need to control what parts of a structure remain visible to highlight others. A common pain point is the lack of…
