A Smoother Zoom Experience with the Dolly Camera in SAMSON

Zooming into specific regions of molecular systems is a routine task for many modelers. Whether it’s to highlight a binding site, a mutation zone, or explore conformational states, the ability to intuitively navigate molecular scenes is crucial. However, standard zoom…

A Simple Way to Create Vertical Molecular Flyovers

Navigating through complex molecular structures can be challenging, especially when trying to present dynamic visualizations that clearly show vertical arrangements in biomolecules, materials, or molecular machines. Standard perspective views often miss key spatial relationships. For molecular modelers who want to…

Making Sense of Atom Attributes with NSL in SAMSON

When working on complex molecular models, a recurring challenge is to rapidly select, highlight, or filter specific atoms based on their physical or chemical properties. Whether you’re analyzing binding pockets, optimizing structures, or preparing simulations, effective atom selection can speed…

Simplifying Vertical Camera Movement in Molecular Scenes

In molecular modeling, creating clear and impactful animations is crucial to communicate complex spatial structures and interactions. But one recurring challenge is how to smoothly shift the camera vertically without losing the context of the scene. This is especially important…

Reversing Molecular Trajectories with Ease in SAMSON

When analyzing molecular simulations or designing dynamic molecular experiences, it's often helpful to explore how systems behave in reverse. Whether you want to retrace a folding pathway, investigate a transition state return, or simply generate a looping presentation between conformations,…

What Happens When You Pull Atoms Apart in SAMSON?

For many molecular modelers working on editing or designing molecular systems, a common challenge lies in how to dynamically change the structure of a molecule while maintaining computational stability and physical consistency. Actions as simple as dragging an atom to…
