Sculpting [[1al1|1AL1]] with Samson (screen capture}. An anchor point (gold ball) was set at left before the movie starts. Mid-way, an anchor point was set in the middle of the polypeptide. [https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/molviz.org/downloads/Samson/1al1-sculpting-samson-v5.mp4 Higher resolution version]. ''Minimize'' was not turned on in this movie.

Sculpt<ref name="sculpt" /> is no longer available. It was initially released in 1994 by Mark Surles, [[User:Jane S. Richardson|Jane Richardson]], David Richardson, and Frederick P. Brooks, Jr., and is described with the theoretical structure [[1ssr]]. Formerly it was available as a stand-alone program, and also it was built-into [[Chime]]. A simulation of inhibitor binding to HIV protease that was created with Sculpt can be viewed at [[Molecular Playground/HIV Protease Inhibitor]].
