Creating captivating molecular presentations often boils down to precise timing. As molecular modelers, we sometimes wish to emphasize a critical structure or transitional state by stopping the flow of a presentation momentarily. This is where the Pause animation in SAMSON…

Molecular modelers often face a common challenge: ensuring their protein system is ready for sophisticated simulation workflows, such as analyzing transition paths between conformations. A poorly prepared model can lead to inaccurate results or failed computations. In this post, we’ll…

Protein alignment is a critical step in molecular modeling, whether you’re analyzing evolutionary relationships, studying structural similarities, or preparing homology models. However, aligning sequences and structures can often feel tedious, especially without the right tools. This is where the Protein…

As a molecular researcher or modeler, we’re often juggling intricate tasks that require experimentations, iterations, and precise modifications. But what happens when you make a mistake, or need to revert to a prior state in your molecular model? In the…

Molecular modelers often face the challenge of effectively rearranging and visualizing specific groups of atoms or meshes during simulations. Whether you’re refining structural insights or preparing presentation-ready animations, the need to “undock” specific components without disrupting the entirety of your…

For molecular modelers, learning a new platform can often feel daunting, especially when dealing with sophisticated tools designed for cutting-edge research. But what if the learning curve could be eased with step-by-step guidance embedded directly within the platform itself? SAMSON…

For molecular modelers, one frequent challenge is ensuring clarity and precision in animations of molecular processes. It's often necessary to focus attention on specific regions of a molecule while ensuring that certain parts remain stationary throughout the animation. The Hold…
