Adding and Removing SAMSON Extensions: What Molecular Modelers Need to Know

Managing tools in a molecular modeling platform can often be time-consuming. Whether you’re trying to test a new analysis method or need to streamline your modeling interface, the ability to easily add or remove functionality matters. In SAMSON, these tools…

Why You Don’t Have to Code Everything From Scratch in Molecular Modeling

OneAngstrom

One of the recurring challenges in molecular modeling is that integrating external tools and scripts often disrupts your workflow. Whether you rely on docking programs, simulation pipelines, or visualization utilities, switching between environments—coupled with writing tedious wrapper code—can slow down…

How to Quickly Filter Molecular Models by Atom and Residue Counts

OneAngstrom

When working on complex molecular systems, molecular modelers often face the tedious task of identifying subsets of their model with specific structural characteristics. Whether it’s finding models with more than 100 residues, selecting folders based on carbon atom counts, or…

A Simple Way to Track Residues and Mutations in SAMSON

OneAngstrom

When working with complex biomolecular systems, even seasoned modelers can find themselves buried in a tangle of atoms, chains, and residues. Whether you’re analyzing a mutated protein or editing sequences interactively, it’s easy to lose track of where you are…

Choosing the Right Unit Cell Shape in Molecular Simulations

OneAngstrom

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…
