Enhancing Protein Models with the Interactive Ramachandran Plot
Protein modelers often face a common challenge: ensuring that their protein backbone conformations are energetically favorable and correct before moving on to simulations or docking. Strained or disallowed conformations can lead to inaccurate results and inefficient workflows. The Interactive Ramachandran…
Streamlining Molecular Modeling with SAMSON’s Measurement Features
For molecular modelers, understanding spatial relationships within a structure is a day-to-day necessity. Whether it’s analyzing bond lengths, atom-to-atom distances, or angles, these measurements are crucial for tasks ranging from structural validation to complex molecular design. However, toggling between tools…
Simplify Molecular Simulations by Cleaning Your System First
As a molecular modeler, you’ve likely encountered avoidable headaches during molecular simulations. Incorrect or redundant elements in your molecular systems—like alternate locations, unnecessary water molecules, or unwanted ligands—can lead to convoluted results or even simulation failure. By systematically pre-processing your…
