You add an extension through SAMSON Connect, open SAMSON, and then… nothing seems to have changed. It’s a common point of confusion: an extension may be installed without appearing as a new app or editor, or it may not be…

You have a molecule framed just right: the binding site is visible, the surrounding structure gives enough context, and the view is ready for a comparison or a presentation. Then you rotate to inspect another region—and have to spend time…

A molecular path can contain a great deal of information—and that can make it hard to answer a simple question: where did this ligand or group of atoms move? Inspecting every atom at every point may obscure the overall direction…

A molecular structure can look ready for evaluation and still produce confusing results: the wrong model task may be selected, a molecule’s charge or spin may be inconsistent with the intended system, or a periodic cell may need checking. Even…

A protein model can look convincing in 3D and still contain awkward backbone conformations. Those local geometry issues are easy to miss when you are viewing the whole structure, but they can matter when preparing a model for refinement, simulation,…

A cloud calculation can be easy to launch and surprisingly hard to keep track of. A job may still be running while you move on to another task; later, you may need to check its status, find its output files,…

You are preparing an animation of a molecular system. The structure is moving as intended, but the camera shifts because you adjusted the view while working—or because no camera animation controls that part of the timeline. The result can be…

A molecular scene can be difficult to follow when the camera simply zooms toward a feature. The region of interest may shift in the frame, or the view may not communicate the change in perspective you intended. In SAMSON, the…

A molecular model can be ready to present, yet the view may shift while you work on the document. That creates a distracting problem in an animation: the system is meant to stay visually steady, but the camera does not.…
