Choosing the Right Unit Cell Shape in Molecular Simulations

When setting up molecular dynamics simulations, especially in solvents, minimizing computational cost while preserving accuracy is always top of mind. One crucial yet sometimes overlooked factor is the shape of the unit cell used when applying periodic boundary conditions (PBC).…

Quickly Emphasize Molecular Events with the Flash Animation in SAMSON

OneAngstrom

When preparing molecular animations for presentations or educational content, one common challenge is directing the viewer’s attention at the right moment. Whether you’re showing a ligand docking, a conformational shift, or any event that happens within a complex molecular system,…

No More Pop-ins: Reveal Your Molecular Models Smoothly with Appear

OneAngstrom

Whether you’re preparing a presentation or building an educational video, one challenge you may face as a molecular modeler is how to smoothly introduce complex structures. When models instantly ‘pop’ into view, it can feel jarring or overwhelming, especially when…

Struggling to Export Your Molecular Models? Here’s What You Can Do

OneAngstrom

Molecular modelers often face the same problem at the end of their workflow: exporting data in the right format. Whether it’s to share your findings with collaborators, prepare inputs for simulation tools, or simply archive models for future use, exporting…

Installing SAMSON Without Admin Rights: A Researcher-Friendly Setup

OneAngstrom

Molecular modellers often face a recurring obstacle when working in institutional or shared environments: restrictive installation rights on their workstations. Whether it’s a university lab, a corporate firewall, or a managed cloud desktop, not having administrator access can make installing…

A Clean Way to Add Slides or Visual Cues in SAMSON Animations

OneAngstrom

For molecular modelers preparing presentations, animations are increasingly important: they make it possible to clearly showcase structural changes, reaction mechanisms, or simulation outputs. But when integrating scientific animations into teaching materials or conference talks, a recurring challenge emerges: how do…

A quiet way to declutter your molecular scene: label visibility in NSL

OneAngstrom

When working on large molecular systems in SAMSON, things can quickly become overwhelming: multiple representations, custom annotations, and layers of data might clutter your workspace. Labels—although critical for highlighting key data points—can add to this visual noise if not carefully…

Making Molecular Models Visible at the Right Moment

OneAngstrom

When preparing molecular animations, researchers often want to draw attention to specific structures or events at the right moment in time. Whether you’re explaining a protein-folding pathway, illustrating a conformational change, or just organizing your story better, revealing the right…

Professional Molecular Animation Starts with the Right Background

OneAngstrom

One of the frequent challenges faced by molecular modelers and presenters is finding effective and visually consistent ways to explain structural transformations and mechanisms. Whether you’re preparing a conference presentation or animating molecular trajectories, integrating your molecular visuals seamlessly with…

Managing Visibility in Molecular Movies with the ‘Hidden’ Animation

OneAngstrom

Creating effective molecular animations often involves more than just showing atoms and molecules moving around. Sometimes, it’s just as important to hide elements at specific points—to guide attention, reduce clutter, or allow a progressive reveal of complex systems. If you’ve…
