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…

Visualizing molecular systems accurately is crucial for effective communication and interpretation. But what if the color scheme you’re using is misleading, hard to read, or inaccessible to people with color vision deficiencies? Many molecular modelers underestimate the impact of color…

If you spend hours in front of a molecular modeling interface, every click counts. A cluttered layout or an inefficient arrangement of tools can make your scientific journey feel unnecessarily long. Fortunately, SAMSON offers a highly customizable interface that allows…

For molecular modelers working with complex biomolecular systems or nanomaterials, scripting in Python opens up powerful pathways for automation, reproducibility, and customization. But not everyone finds it easy to write Python code—especially when trying to interact with a domain-specific interface…

One of the challenges molecular modelers face is adapting their software tools to specific workflows or advanced methodologies. You often find yourself searching for plugins, modifying code, or working across multiple platforms just to perform one type of simulation or…

If you’ve ever tried to showcase a molecular mechanism and found that parts of your system simply vanish from your animation — and never return — you’re not alone. One common pain molecular modelers face is correctly animating components that…
