Make Molecular Structures Gently Appear in SAMSON Animations

When creating molecular presentations or videos, one recurring challenge is helping viewers understand the step-by-step buildup of complex molecular structures. Rather than showing everything all at once—which can be overwhelming—it can be much more effective and pedagogical to have components…

Quick Control of Label Visibility in Molecular Models

When working with complex molecular systems, labels can be incredibly helpful to annotate and navigate your scene. However, with growing model complexity, an important challenge emerges: too many visible labels clutter your view, making it hard to focus. The good…

Making Molecular Models Disappear (And Reappear) with NSL

Working with complex molecular systems often means dealing with a cluttered workspace. In SAMSON, the integrative molecular design platform, managing the visibility of various components in your scene can save time and reduce visual overload. If you’ve ever found yourself…

Easily Filter Molecular Segments by Residue Counts in SAMSON

When working with complex molecular structures, identifying specific segments—such as protein chains or molecular groups—with defined characteristics can be a time-consuming task. One common challenge faced by molecular modelers is quickly finding segments containing a particular number of residues, especially…

Creating Slide-Like Presentations in Molecular Animations

When showcasing a molecular mechanism or communicating complex simulations, molecular modelers often face a presentation challenge: keeping control of the narrative. Visualizations can flow too fast, or worse, become overwhelming to the audience without clear segmenting. While traditional media like…
