A More Comfortable Workspace: Customizing the SAMSON Interface

If you spend hours in front of a molecular modeling interface, every click counts. A cluttered layout or an inefficient arrangement of tools can make your scientific journey feel unnecessarily long. Fortunately, SAMSON offers a highly customizable interface that allows…

Let SAMSON AI Write Your Molecular Python Scripts

OneAngstrom

For molecular modelers working with complex biomolecular systems or nanomaterials, scripting in Python opens up powerful pathways for automation, reproducibility, and customization. But not everyone finds it easy to write Python code—especially when trying to interact with a domain-specific interface…

Easily Manage and Customize Your SAMSON Experience with Extensions

OneAngstrom

One of the challenges molecular modelers face is adapting their software tools to specific workflows or advanced methodologies. You often find yourself searching for plugins, modifying code, or working across multiple platforms just to perform one type of simulation or…

Making Molecular Components Reappear in Animations

OneAngstrom

If you’ve ever tried to showcase a molecular mechanism and found that parts of your system simply vanish from your animation — and never return — you’re not alone. One common pain molecular modelers face is correctly animating components that…

Making Labels Work for You: A Practical Guide to Label Attributes in SAMSON

OneAngstrom

When working with complex molecular models in SAMSON, staying organized is crucial. Labels can help add clarity at just the right places, but they can also become distracting or overwhelming if not managed carefully. Have you ever found yourself struggling…

What to Do When SAMSON Doesn’t Recognize Your File Format

OneAngstrom

If you work in molecular modeling, you’ve likely encountered this situation: you download a structure file from a database, or receive one from a collaborator, expecting a smooth import into your modeling software—only to be met with an error message…

Filtering Node Groups by Selection State in SAMSON

OneAngstrom

If you’ve worked with complex molecular systems in SAMSON, you’ve likely faced the challenge of isolating particular groups of atoms or molecular components. This becomes especially relevant when dealing with large biomolecular assemblies or simulations with numerous nodes. One of…

Molecular Modeling Isn’t Easy—But SAMSON’s Interactive Tutorials Make It Simpler

OneAngstrom

For many molecular modelers, the early stages of using a new software platform can feel like learning a foreign language. From navigating a complex interface to figuring out how to run simulations or analyze data, the learning curve can be…

Working with Molecular Dynamics Trajectories in SAMSON

OneAngstrom

Molecular modeling and simulation often involve handling large trajectory files produced by molecular dynamics engines like GROMACS, AMBER, NAMD, LAMMPS, and Tinker. However, switching between simulation and visualization tools can feel like constantly battling with incompatible data formats and slow…

Avoiding Costly Mistakes with the History Feature in SAMSON

OneAngstrom

It’s happened to every molecular modeler: hours spent refining a complex structure, carefully adjusting geometry or interaction parameters, only to lose a crucial state after a slip of the mouse or an unexpected action. For those using SAMSON, the integrative…
