If you’ve ever needed to simulate the same molecular system under multiple conformations — for example, in Umbrella Sampling or conformational ensemble simulations — then you probably know how time-consuming it can be to prepare each conformation manually. Good news:…

In molecular modeling and animation, we often focus on what moves. However, sometimes what doesn’t move is just as important. For molecular modelers who want to control which parts of a molecule are in motion and which remain static, SAMSON…

If you’re working on a scientific project that relies on a specific version of SAMSON for compatibility reasons — perhaps due to an extension that was developed for an older API, or to reproduce simulation results — reinstalling a past…

Visualizing molecular motion can be challenging—especially when reviewing complex structures or conformational changes. Many molecular modelers spend unnecessary time interpreting trajectory data frame by frame, struggling with jerky transitions and inconsistent playback speeds. If you’ve found yourself in this situation,…

Running complex simulations, such as molecular dynamics or protein structure predictions, can generate large volumes of data and require significant local computational resources. Cloud computing offers a powerful alternative, but comes with a new challenge: how do you keep everything…

Creating carbon nanotube (CNT) models can often feel like a tedious process, especially when you’re just trying to quickly sketch out a prototype for molecular transport, a nanodevice, or a simulation test. What if you could bypass all menu hunting…

Visual storytelling is an essential part of molecular modeling, especially when presenting complex interactions in proteins, DNA, or materials. A common challenge faced by molecular modelers is how to ensure a viewer’s attention stays focused on the relevant part of…
