Working with Molecular Dynamics Trajectories in SAMSON

Molecular modeling and simulation often involve handling large trajectory files produced by molecular dynamics engines like GROMACS, AMBER, NAMD, LAMMPS, and Tinker. However, switching between simulation and visualization tools can feel like constantly battling with incompatible data formats and slow…

Bring Your Own Code: Integrate External Tools into SAMSON Easily

Many researchers and developers in molecular modeling rely on custom scripts, external executables, or web services to perform specific tasks—such as docking, calculations, or data analysis. However, managing multiple tools can be time-consuming, especially when interoperability isn’t seamless. This is…

Removing Unwanted Chains Before Molecular Interpolation: A Quick Tutorial

When working with protein structures, accuracy begins at preparation. One common issue molecular modelers face—especially when dealing with alternate conformations or large multimeric structures—is the need to remove unwanted chains before running simulations, conformational interpolation, or structural comparisons. For instance,…
