When working with complex molecular models, workflows can often become tangled—especially when juggling multiple tools. If you’ve ever wondered why SAMSON, the molecular design platform, allows only one editor to be active at a time, you’re not alone. This design…

If you use GROMACS frequently for molecular dynamics simulations, you’re probably familiar with situations where you need to run simulations with a specific version of GROMACS — for example, for reproducibility in publications, for performance comparisons, or simply because your…

When visualizing complex molecular systems, it’s easy to lose track of what matters most. If you’re working on a dynamic simulation—following a ligand binding to a receptor, or tracking a conformational change over time—you often want the camera to stay…

Choosing the right platform for molecular modeling can depend heavily on its ability to handle the variety of file formats researchers use daily. For molecular modelers working across simulation packages, crystallography tools, and cheminformatics platforms, file compatibility often becomes a…

When working on molecular presentations, one common challenge faced by modelers is managing visual complexity. Scenes often involve dozens to hundreds of molecular entities, and many of them are not necessary to show simultaneously. Having too much on screen not…

When preparing molecular animations, it’s often necessary to guide your audience through a spatially complex structure. But creating smooth, intentional vertical camera movements — for example, to transition across layers in a membrane system or explore a polymer structure —…

When preparing presentations or videos of molecular systems, one common challenge is smoothly introducing atoms—especially when showcasing molecular docking, assembly, or reaction mechanisms. Instead of showing everything at once or relying on fades, you might want atoms and their bonds…
