Creating engaging molecular animations can be time-consuming, especially when trying to guide the viewer’s attention across complex molecular structures. One of the common frustrations among structural biologists, medicinal chemists, and molecular modelers is achieving smooth camera movements that emphasize the…

When preparing molecular animations for presentations, teaching materials, or research communication, molecular modelers often struggle with how to introduce elements into a scene without making them pop into view abruptly. Too often, transitions are either too fast or not customizable,…

Working with molecular modeling platforms can be a rewarding experience—until your workspace becomes cluttered or you struggle to enable the specific tools you need. For users of SAMSON, a key challenge is often knowing how to effectively manage SAMSON Extensions:…

When preparing molecular presentations or animations, one common goal is to highlight a specific part of a structure. Whether introducing a binding site, focusing on a key residue, or guiding attention across a molecular assembly, modelers often look for ways…

Creating engaging molecular animations is essential for presentations, teaching, or visually exploring structural transformations. But here’s a common challenge molecular modelers face: how to precisely control the motion of atoms over time without writing complex scripts or using several disconnected…

When building molecular models, one of the recurring challenges is color choice. Molecular modelers often use color to indicate atom types, molecular properties, interactions, or structural information. But picking colors isn’t just about aesthetics — it’s about clarity, contrast, and…
