When presenting structural biology data or highlighting features in complex molecular assemblies, clarity of motion can significantly improve communication. One frequent challenge in molecular visualization is how to vertically reposition the view of a system—especially in confined spaces like membranes,…
When working with complex macromolecular structures, especially those containing multiple chains, it can be challenging to quickly identify and select residues of interest or detect structural differences across chains. Whether you’re comparing active sites, tracing mutations, or analyzing binding interfaces,…
Molecular modelers often face the challenge of going beyond static structures to understand how biomolecules move and function. In the context of viral mechanisms, visualizing transitions between different conformational states can reveal valuable insights about infection mechanisms and antibody binding…
Molecular modeling often involves working with deeply nested, multi-component structures, and navigating between different elements—residues, chains, ligands, or even different molecules—can become overwhelming. If you’ve ever found yourself hunting through a jumbled 3D scene or struggling to isolate a specific…
Computational chemistry and molecular modeling software often comes with a catch: installation requires admin rights, which are typically restricted on institutional machines or shared HPC environments. This can become a significant hurdle—especially for students, researchers in restrictive IT environments, or…
