Instantly Adjust Protein Geometry with Drag-and-Drop Editing

When fine-tuning a protein model before simulation, small conformational issues can turn into big problems. A single residue with unusual backbone angles can affect the outcome of minimizations or dynamics runs. But how do you spot and adjust such residues…

Keeping Track of Molecular Movements: A Look at the Record Path Animation in SAMSON

OneAngstrom

Molecular modeling often involves dynamic processes: ligand docking, molecular dynamics, or interactive manipulation of atomic structures during presentations. But reproducing or analyzing these movements later can become a pain, especially if you didn’t capture the atomic trajectory at the time.…

Tired of Reinstalling Plugins? How SAMSON Connect Handles Add-ons Better

OneAngstrom

Working with molecular modeling software often comes with a common and frustrating problem: managing extensions and plug-ins. Whether you’re using a feature-limited tool or switching between machines, keeping track of which modules you’ve installed, which are under trial, or which…

From Chaos to Clarity: Making Sense of Render Presets in Molecular Modeling

OneAngstrom

In molecular modeling, clear visualization is often the difference between insight and information overload. You’ve been there: a jumble of atoms, bonds, colors, and representations, all piling up into an intricate (and unreadable) tangle. This is where Render Presets in…

Reveal or Conceal: Practical Tips for Managing Visual Models in SAMSON

OneAngstrom

When working on complex molecular systems in SAMSON, even the most detailed modeler can feel overwhelmed by visual clutter. Whether you’re analyzing protein-ligand binding, manipulating materials, or preparing publication-ready figures, understanding and controlling what is visible — and what isn’t…

Quickly Find the Right Structural Groups with Smart Attribute Filters in SAMSON

OneAngstrom

When working on complex molecular systems, molecular modelers often face the tedious task of filtering and selecting just the right parts of a model. Whether you’re preparing data for simulations, cleaning structures before exporting, or simply analyzing specific components, finding…

Making Molecules Appear at the Right Moment in Your Animations

OneAngstrom

Communicating complex molecular design work often involves more than just stunning visuals—it requires guiding the viewer’s attention to the right elements at the right time. In presentations or scientific animations, one common challenge is how to reveal certain molecular structures…

Making Molecular Structures Appear at the Right Time: The Show Animation in SAMSON

OneAngstrom

When preparing molecular animations for presentations or educational videos, one challenge comes up again and again: how to reveal molecular components at exactly the right moment. Whether you’re illustrating the binding of a ligand, the assembly of a complex, or…

Quickly filter visible and selected visual models in SAMSON

OneAngstrom

When analyzing complex molecular systems, one common pain point is maintaining clarity while working with multiple visual model nodes. These models—used to represent atoms, bonds, surfaces, labels, and more—can quickly accumulate, making it hard to isolate relevant components for analysis…

Filtering Molecular Conformations by Atom Count in SAMSON

OneAngstrom

Molecular modelers often find themselves dealing with complex systems containing many conformations. When working with such systems, it can be helpful to filter these conformations based on certain properties — such as the number of atoms they contain — in…
