Visualizing complex molecular structures can quickly become overwhelming — atoms, residues, chains, secondary structures all tangled together in 3D. For many molecular modelers, getting lost in this jungle of atoms is a familiar pain. What if you could color your…

When working with molecular simulations, it can be surprisingly tricky to visually follow the part of the molecule you’re actually interested in. Atoms move in space, but cameras often stay fixed—forcing you to constantly adjust the view manually or lose…

In molecular modeling, there’s often a need to highlight a specific region of a structure, demonstrate the dynamic progression of a process, or quite simply avoid overwhelming the viewer with too much visual complexity. If you’ve ever faced the challenge…

Molecular modelers often face a common challenge: how to keep their visualizations clean and clear without losing essential information. Labels are helpful for providing context—atom names, residue types, measurements—but flooding the screen with too many labels can quickly make a…

When building molecular animations, conveying clarity through camera movement can be challenging. Sudden jumps, disorienting spins, or stiff transitions between views are issues commonly faced by scientists preparing visual presentations or educational content. Thankfully, SAMSON’s Move camera animation provides a…

When building or analyzing molecular models, it’s easy to get overwhelmed by numbers and visuals—distances, angles, charges, and more. Many molecular modelers rely heavily on visual clarity to communicate results or simply navigate complex systems. One small but impactful pain…

When working on complex molecular models, even seasoned researchers can experience friction: too many clicks, scattered tools, or scripting overhead just to zoom into a ligand or color-code a surface. These interruptions break focus and slow down workflows. What if…

When working on complex molecular models, switching between different parts of a system can become time-consuming. Maybe you’re revisiting a ligand binding pocket, comparing crystal orientations, or navigating between molecular assemblies in a large simulation setup. Scrolling, zooming, and panning…
