Getting Started with Interactive Simulations in SAMSON

For those working in molecular modeling, one common challenge is understanding how computational models translate into actual behavior once simulations are enabled. Did the structural setup contain all necessary parameters? Is the simulation responding as expected when interacting with atoms…

Quickly Find the Right Molecular File in SAMSON Using NSL

In large molecular modeling projects, researchers often work with multiple molecular files simultaneously: ligand libraries, protein targets, simulation outputs, potential energy surfaces, and more. Navigating these files in a project tree can become tedious, especially when files are ambiguously named…

Adding and Removing Modules in SAMSON Without the Guesswork

For many molecular modelers and scientists, customizing your molecular design environment is essential. Whether you’re simulating proteins, docking ligands, or running cloud-based structure predictions, adapting your tools to fit your workflow is critical. That’s where SAMSON Extensions come into play.…

Switching Views Instantly in Molecular Models

When working with complex molecular structures, modelers often need to switch between multiple viewpoints quickly — zooming into a binding site, looking at an overall protein fold, or comparing two conformations side-by-side. This can become time-consuming and repetitive if you…

How to Select Atoms by Expression Without Writing Scripts

For molecular modelers working with large systems, it’s common to face repetitive and time-consuming tasks like selecting specific atoms based on custom values, geometric patterns, or chemical types. Doing so manually through the interface—especially over thousands of atoms—can become tedious…

Quickly Filter Visible Labels with NSL in SAMSON

When working on complex molecular systems in SAMSON, labels can be critical for clarity — but too many of them can clutter your visualization. Molecular modelers often face the challenge of managing these label nodes efficiently, especially when preparing clean…
