Running Molecular Dynamics in the Cloud Without Leaving SAMSON

Running molecular dynamics (MD) simulations can often be a resource-intensive task. For molecular modelers working on large systems or simulations that need to run for extended periods of time, local computational resources quickly become a bottleneck. But what if launching…

Easily Identify Polymer Chains by Atom Count in SAMSON

OneAngstrom

When working with complex molecular structures, especially large biomolecules or polymers, it can be difficult to quickly filter and focus on chains of interest. Often, molecular modelers need to isolate chains according to their size or composition, such as finding…

Smoother Molecular Presentations with Background Transitions

OneAngstrom

Molecular modelers frequently prepare visual presentations to communicate structural or dynamic insights. But one common challenge when moving between slides or animation segments is preserving visual coherence and engagement—especially when transitioning between different molecular contexts, experimental conditions, or conceptual stages.…

Speed Up Selections in SAMSON with Quick Groups

OneAngstrom

When working with complex molecular systems, one of the most common frustrations is switching between different parts of your model—ligands, receptors, water molecules, ions—especially when selections involve many atoms or residues. Navigating large molecular structures efficiently is essential, especially during…

Quickly Find Large Molecular Conformations Using NSL

OneAngstrom

When working on large biomolecular systems or designing nanostructures, researchers often face a common problem: how to quickly select the molecular conformations that matter most without having to navigate through dozens—or even hundreds—of possibilities. Knowing which conformations are worth analyzing…

A Simple Way to Highlight Key Molecular Changes: Rotating Your Model Effectively

OneAngstrom

When presenting a molecular model—whether it’s for a publication, class, or collaboration—clarity matters. Sometimes, even the most detailed model can feel static and hard to read. This is especially true when discussing structural differences, ligand binding, or shape complementarity. Molecular…

Making Molecular Models Clearer with the Right Colors

OneAngstrom

Color is more than just visual appeal in molecular modeling — it’s a language. When you’re working with complex biomolecular assemblies, subtle conformational changes, or trying to communicate your results clearly, the default color palettes you apply to your models…

From Confusing to Clear: Managing Molecular Complexity with Visual Presets

OneAngstrom

Visualizing molecular systems often feels like a balancing act—switching representations, adjusting colors, highlighting key atoms—before you’ve even started analyzing. For researchers and students dealing with increasingly large biomolecular structures, the time spent configuring these visualizations manually can quickly add up.…

Creating a Pause for Emphasis in Molecular Animations

OneAngstrom

When preparing molecular presentations, one common challenge researchers face is making specific moments stand out. Whether you’re highlighting a protein-ligand interaction or illustrating a crucial conformational change, these scientific storytelling moments need time to register with your audience. Animations move…

A Simpler Way to Hide Atoms in Molecular Animations

OneAngstrom

When creating molecular animations, many researchers and educators face a common challenge: controlling the visibility of individual atoms without relying on transparency settings, which can lead to cluttered visuals and overlapping structures. Whether you’re preparing a molecular dynamics presentation or…
