When working with large molecular systems, molecular modelers often deal with a mix of visual representations, simulation results, and annotations that come from various nodes in the system. Many of these are property models: nodes designed to describe properties (e.g.,…

When working with detailed molecular models in SAMSON, it’s easy for your workspace to become difficult to navigate. Notes scattered throughout models often contain crucial information—observations, temporary labels, or structural annotations—but they can quickly become visually overwhelming. Thankfully, with the…

When working on detailed structural analysis or drug design projects, molecular modelers often need to select and manipulate side chains based on specific features — such as the number of atoms or presence of certain elements. This can be time-consuming…

When designing molecular animations, clarity matters. Whether you’re building a protein folding sequence, simulating ligand docking, or preparing a visual output for a publication or presentation, keeping track of the various elements in your scene is vital. But when things…

Whether you’re building biomolecular structures, simulating protein-ligand interactions, or designing nanomaterials, understanding how your data is structured can save you time and reduce errors in your workflow. In SAMSON, one of the key organizational concepts is the Node. Nodes are…

When molecular modelers create animations in SAMSON, they often aim to communicate complex ideas precisely and clearly — sometimes in the form of a presentation. However, there’s a recurring challenge: how to structure these presentations so audiences can follow critical…
