When working with complex molecular systems, one of the most common frustrations is switching between different parts of your model—ligands, receptors, water molecules, ions—especially when selections involve many atoms or residues. Navigating large molecular structures efficiently is essential, especially during…

When presenting a molecular model—whether it’s for a publication, class, or collaboration—clarity matters. Sometimes, even the most detailed model can feel static and hard to read. This is especially true when discussing structural differences, ligand binding, or shape complementarity. Molecular…

Visualizing molecular systems often feels like a balancing act—switching representations, adjusting colors, highlighting key atoms—before you’ve even started analyzing. For researchers and students dealing with increasingly large biomolecular structures, the time spent configuring these visualizations manually can quickly add up.…

When preparing molecular presentations, one common challenge researchers face is making specific moments stand out. Whether you’re highlighting a protein-ligand interaction or illustrating a crucial conformational change, these scientific storytelling moments need time to register with your audience. Animations move…

When creating molecular animations, many researchers and educators face a common challenge: controlling the visibility of individual atoms without relying on transparency settings, which can lead to cluttered visuals and overlapping structures. Whether you’re preparing a molecular dynamics presentation or…

As a molecular modeler, you might have encountered the following situation: you’re trying to reproduce simulations from a paper, or continue a project started on another machine. But your local GROMACS version doesn’t quite match the one previously used. Differences…

If you’ve ever launched molecular simulations in the cloud—such as protein structure predictions or molecular dynamics simulations—you know that managing these jobs efficiently can quickly become a challenge. You might lose track of which simulations are running, which ones have…

Many molecular modelers spend significant time navigating menus, remembering shortcuts, and writing scripts to perform everyday tasks: visualizing surfaces, modifying representations, or selecting atom groups. While flexibility is appreciated, the friction can add up—especially when switching between modeling tools and…
