When working with complex molecular systems, the ability to navigate and interpret the 3D scene efficiently can significantly improve your productivity—and reduce frustration. In SAMSON, camera nodes play a central role in visualizing and navigating molecular scenes, but there’s a…

Effortless Visibility Transitions with the Flash Animation in SAMSON

OneAngstrom

When creating molecular animations for presentations, publications, or educational content, clarity often competes with complexity. You may want to focus your audience’s attention on specific molecular components at specific times, gradually building up or breaking down structures without overwhelming them…

Custom molecular visualizations in SAMSON without writing code

OneAngstrom

When visualizing complex molecular systems, clarity matters. Whether you’re highlighting interactions within a protein pocket or exploring electron density fields, effective visuals can save time, avoid misinterpretations, and enhance presentations or publications. But creating meaningful visuals from raw structural data…

Quickly Isolate Specific Node Groups in SAMSON: A Practical Guide to Using Selection Attributes

OneAngstrom

When working on complex molecular models, isolating specific subsets—such as ligands, modified residues, or structural domains—can be a major time-saver. The Node Specification Language (NSL) in SAMSON provides a robust way to target these subsets using attributes, and in this…

Making Sense of Pressure: A Practical Guide to NPT Equilibration with GROMACS Wizard

OneAngstrom

One of the most common challenges in molecular dynamics simulation is ensuring that a system reaches realistic density and pressure conditions before launching a production run. If you’ve ever struggled with fluctuating densities or simulation artifacts due to poorly equilibrated…

Quickly spot sampling gaps in PMF calculations using GROMACS Wizard

OneAngstrom

Running umbrella sampling simulations is a major step in estimating free energy profiles along reaction coordinates. But for molecular modelers, a recurring problem is not knowing whether the simulation data you’ve generated is enough—or balanced enough—to perform reliable Potential of…

Tired of Repeating Tasks in Molecular Modeling? Let SAMSON AI Script It for You.

OneAngstrom

Many molecular modelers often find themselves repeating the same actions: translating atoms, computing molecular properties, or building small interactive tools. When done manually or hardcoded repeatedly into Python scripts, these tasks can become tedious and time-consuming. If this feels familiar,…
