One common challenge in molecular docking is achieving the right balance between search accuracy and computational efficiency. When modeling protein-protein interactions, researchers often want results that are both physically meaningful and delivered in a reasonable amount of time. But how…

Preparing coarse-grained (CG) systems for molecular dynamics (MD) simulations can often feel like stepping through a minefield of small issues that lead to problematic simulations. One pain point that many molecular modelers encounter is setting up solvation properly when working…

One of the most common bottlenecks in molecular design and cheminformatics is the need to systematically explore chemical space: how do structural modifications at specific molecular positions affect molecular properties like binding affinity or selectivity? Instead of relying on scattered…

When working on molecular presentations, it’s often important to control visual complexity. Whether you’re introducing molecular components one at a time in a classroom, highlighting specific features in a publication video, or creating an instructional animation, clarity matters. One effective…

Running molecular dynamics simulations in the cloud can save you time and free up your local resources—but what happens if your input files are misconfigured or your system isn’t stable enough? In SAMSON’s GROMACS Wizard, you have a handy option…

Molecular modelers often spend significant time adjusting how molecular structures are visualized to interpret and present their data clearly. Whether working with protein secondary structures, electrostatic fields, or electron densities, having intuitive control over visual representation is essential. Yet, many…

One common challenge for molecular modelers working with GROMACS is dealing with long-running energy minimization calculations. These simulations can temporarily block workflow, especially when computational resources are limited. Fortunately, the SAMSON GROMACS Wizard has integrated local job management capabilities that…

As molecular modelers, we often rely on labels to communicate the identity, location, or properties of atoms, residues, and molecules in our models. Whether you’re preparing publication-quality images or simply organizing your project, clear labeling is key. But if you’ve…

If you work with protein-ligand docking, molecular dynamics, or virtual screening, you’ve probably faced the time-consuming chore of preparing dozens—or hundreds—of protein structures. From removing unwanted molecules to adding missing atoms, the process can quickly become a bottleneck. That’s where…

When working on molecular modeling projects, things can get complex very quickly. Trying to manage multiple molecules, simulation settings, scripts, and custom data often leads to workflows spread across different tools, folders, or even computers. This fragmentation can cause confusion…
