Molecular modelers often face challenges when needing to align multiple protein sequences and structures or create detailed interaction diagrams. These tasks, while essential, can be time-consuming without the right tools. If you’re looking for ways to streamline these processes, the SAMSON 2025 webinar recording provides excellent insights into new features designed to help with exactly that.
Simplifying Protein Alignment
The SAMSON 2025 release introduces the Protein Aligner, which makes it significantly easier to align protein sequences and structures. Alignment is crucial in structural biology, as properly aligned sequences can reveal evolutionary relationships and help identify structural similarities. The Protein Aligner in SAMSON supports the simultaneous alignment of multiple proteins—saving you time and effort when handling complex analyses.
The webinar recording walks you through the process, including how to navigate the alignment tool and tips for making the most out of its features. You can follow along directly by watching this section of the video: 20:33.
Visualizing Detailed Interaction Diagrams
Another powerful tool introduced in SAMSON 2025 is the Interaction Designer. With SAMSON 2025, users can now create and edit 2D and 3D interaction diagrams for proteins and ligands with remarkable ease and clarity. This feature is particularly helpful for modelers looking to visualize and communicate molecular interactions in a format that is both structured and visually appealing.
Whether you’re studying drug binding, exploring interactions between large biomolecules, or preparing publication-quality visuals, the Interaction Designer is a valuable addition to your modeling toolkit. The webinar also offers a practical demonstration of how to use this new tool effectively, which you can watch here: 30:02.
