When and Why You Should Minimize Ligands Before Docking

Ligand preparation is a small but often overlooked step that can create big inconsistencies in molecular docking workflows. If you’re working with a ligand library obtained from public databases or in-house screening efforts, chances are high that those ligands vary…

Easier Focus with Pulse: Highlighting Molecular Models with Flow

When working on complex molecular systems, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed by the sheer number of elements in the scene. Whether you’re visualizing protein interfaces, understanding conformational changes, or creating compelling molecular presentations, sometimes the challenge is simply guiding the…

Quickly Find Hidden Lights in Complex Molecular Scenes

In molecular modeling projects, especially when dealing with large biomolecular assemblies or complex simulations, the visual scene can quickly become cluttered. One underappreciated source of visual clutter – or confusion – is light nodes. Sometimes, users unknowingly create or import…

What to Do When Your NMR Methyl Assignments Are Incomplete?

Structure prediction from NMR data can be very powerful, especially when working with protein-ligand complexes in solution. But many molecular modelers hit a common wall: incomplete or ambiguous methyl assignments. When multiple methyls are observed in a NOESY spectrum but…
