Why Molecular Colors Matter More Than You Think

For molecular modelers, data visualization is not just aesthetic—it’s functional. The way atoms, residues, and molecules are colored can directly impact the clarity of your interpretations, the speed of your decision-making, and even the persuasiveness of your publications or presentations.…

Building Custom GROMACS Index Groups without the Guesswork

When working with large biomolecular systems using GROMACS, it’s often necessary to define custom index groups—for example, to specify pull groups for umbrella sampling, analyze specific subsets of atoms, or apply restraints. But creating these groups manually using gmx make_ndx…

Saving Protein Motions as PDB Trajectories in SAMSON

One of the challenges structural biologists often face is not only computing and visualizing protein motions, but also saving them in a way that is easy to analyze, compare, or share with collaborators. Whether you’re studying conformational transitions or designing…
