Molecular modelers often face the challenge of creating animations that clearly communicate specific dynamics while maintaining the integrity of certain structural elements. A common pain point is keeping certain atoms fixed in position as other parts of the structure move…

Molecular modelers often face the challenge of creating compelling and accurate animations for their molecular systems. Whether it’s moving atoms into specific positions or creating transitions between different states, the process can be time-consuming and intricate. Fortunately, the 'Move atoms'…

As a molecular modeler, every second counts. Navigating through complex software interfaces when modeling intricate structures or running simulations can derail your focus. Fortunately, SAMSON offers an adaptable interface that allows you to mold the platform to fit your workflow.…

Installing an older version of a software platform can be a challenge, but sometimes it’s necessary for compatibility or workflow reasons. If you’re using SAMSON, the integrative molecular design platform, and need to revert to an older version, we’ve got…

When working with molecular models, effectively visualizing complex data is crucial. Color palettes are an essential tool in the molecular modeler’s arsenal, helping to differentiate components, highlight patterns, and effectively communicate scientific insights. But how do you simplify this often…

One common challenge faced by many molecular modelers is ensuring reproducibility and compatibility between different simulations, especially when working across teams or reproducing results from published work. Since software like GROMACS evolves rapidly, slight version mismatches can generate inconsistencies in…

Working with publicly available protein structures can feel like opening a surprise package. Sometimes, it’s all there — chain complete, atoms in place, ready for simulation. More often, though, it’s not. Missing heavy atoms, absent side chains, incomplete backbones, protonation…
