When building or analyzing molecular systems, one of the most common and necessary tasks is measuring distances between atoms. Whether you’re evaluating bond lengths, verifying docking poses, or checking geometrical constraints, distance measurements are essential to understand spatial relationships within…

When preparing molecular presentations, one of the most common challenges is getting viewers to intuitively grasp the spatial structure of molecular systems. Static images or models can fall short — especially when trying to convey subtle 3D features like binding…

Unexpected distortions in protein simulations can often be traced back to one common oversight: skipping energy minimization before transition path planning. Whether you’re exploring conformational transitions or generating intermediate structures between known states, minimizing your system ensures your results are…

Running molecular dynamics simulations often involves fine-tuning a complex set of parameters. Whether you’re optimizing for performance or adapting to a specific research protocol, manually editing a GROMACS .mdp file can be tedious and error-prone—especially when trying to track which…

When preparing a molecular dynamics (MD) simulation, defining the periodic box correctly ensures accuracy and stability in the results. But what happens when you’re not just simulating one structure, but a whole batch of conformations? Should each snapshot have a…
