In a busy molecular model, notes can be easy to overlook. A scene may contain several annotations, and the one you need might be hidden, hard to distinguish by name, or mixed in with other node types. SAMSON’s Node Specification…

A modeling workflow can be interrupted by a small but frustrating question: Is this a common setup issue, a problem that needs troubleshooting, or a question about how a particular SAMSON feature works? Choosing the wrong kind of help can…

You are working on a molecular model and hit a small but consequential question: Which setting controls this? What kind of node am I looking at? Does SAMSON support the file format I need? The challenge is often not a…

Notes can be useful for recording decisions, marking questions, or keeping track of details in a molecular model. But as a project grows, the same notes can become harder to locate: some may be hidden, some visible, and some may…

When a molecular structure contains many segments, a simple question can turn into a tedious inspection task: Which segments contain roughly the right number of residues? Which are unusually large, or contain a particular number of carbon or oxygen atoms?…

When a molecular scene contains several lights, a small selection mistake can make it harder to work: you may be trying to identify a particular light, check which lights are visible, or find lights that are currently hidden. SAMSON’s Node…

When a molecular system contains many conformations, it can be tedious to locate the paths that are large enough to matter for a particular analysis. Opening paths one by one just to check their atom counts adds friction before the…

A molecular structure can contain thousands of atoms, but a binding-site question is usually much narrower: Which receptor atoms are close to the ligand? Which nearby residues should I inspect? Are there waters or polar groups in the same region?…

A molecular modeling session can be interrupted by very different kinds of problems: a question about an account or installation, an unexpected platform behavior, or uncertainty about how a particular feature works. When these are all treated as the same…

A familiar frustration in molecular modeling: a file opens, but not in the way you expected. Perhaps it contains coordinates but no trajectory, or the application can read a format but cannot write it back. Before converting files—or trying one…
