Why Molecular Modelers Should Care About Versioning

When working on molecular models across different projects, teams, or institutions, it’s easy to lose track of the evolution of files, features, and visual results. A common pain shared by molecular modelers is wondering which version of a model was…

Visualizing Molecular Transformations with a Smooth Fade

When creating scientific animations, small choices in transitions can make a big difference in how clearly your message is received. In molecular design, showing the evolution of a system often requires highlighting some parts of the structure while reducing the…

Clarifying Complex Motion with the Rotate Animation in SAMSON

When working with molecular models, visualizing movements is often crucial to understanding molecular function. Whether you’re studying conformational changes, ligand docking pathways, or simply presenting your simulation results, clear and intuitive animations can help tell a more compelling story —…

Saving Consistent Molecular Captures Without the Manual Hassle

Consistent and high-quality molecular captures are crucial for presentations, publications, and team communication. But getting a clean, reproducible image from a molecular modeling platform typically requires a mix of screen captures, manual cropping, and editing. This can waste time and…

Speed Up Protein Docking by Focusing the Search Area

One of the most common pain points for molecular modelers performing protein-protein docking is the time it takes to get meaningful results. Exhaustive searches across all possible orientations are computationally intensive, especially when docking larger biomolecules. If you’ve found yourself…

Tired of Slow Energy Minimization? Try This Instead

If you’ve ever waited too long for a molecular geometry to optimize, you’re not alone. A common bottleneck in molecular modeling is the slow convergence of standard algorithms like Steepest Descent — especially when dealing with large systems or complex…
