One of the less discussed, but surprisingly important aspects of molecular modeling is color perception. Visualizing molecular structures clearly is essential when working with complex systems, and when you’re layering atoms, molecules, or domains, using the right color palette can…

Creating intuitive and meaningful molecular animations can be challenging—especially when trying to direct the attention of collaborators, reviewers, or students to specific regions of interest in a scene. One recurring problem is producing simple horizontal movement in animations, where both…

Designing carbon nanotubes (CNTs) for molecular modeling or material science simulations often requires a deep understanding of their structure: the famous n and m parameters that define both the chirality and radius of a CNT. But what if you just…

Have you ever needed to prepare a molecular animation to illustrate how a ligand unbinds from its receptor? This step, while seemingly simple, is often time-consuming and prone to inconsistencies. Whether you’re creating a teaching video, preparing a conference talk,…

For molecular modelers working with computationally intensive tasks like protein structure prediction or molecular dynamics, accessing sufficient computing power is often a challenge. Long simulations, resource-heavy algorithms, and multi-step workflows can overwhelm local computers or delay projects. This is where…

Controlling the timing of when molecular elements appear in a presentation or a movie can be tricky. Whether you’re building a video for a publication, crafting an educational animation, or presenting your research, ensuring that molecular fragments appear precisely when…
