Visualizing molecular systems isn’t just about making things look good. It’s about clarity, insight, and helping you make the right decisions for your research. If you’ve used tools where atoms and bonds are shown as 3D sticks and spheres by…
When working on complex DNA nanostructures, molecular modelers often need to reuse specific design elements across multiple projects. Rebuilding frequently used motifs from scratch wastes time and increases the risk of error. Adenita, the DNA nanostructure editor in SAMSON, provides…
Designing nanostructures from atomic rings can be a time-consuming process if done purely manually, especially when building repeated patterns such as carbon nanotubes. Molecular modelers often need to carefully position and rotate molecules using fine controls, which can be tedious…
When comparing protein structures, sometimes the focus isn’t on the whole protein — but rather on a specific region: an active site, a conserved domain, or just a few residues that differ between species. In these cases, global alignment can…
One of the challenges molecular modelers frequently face is how to visually simulate the departure of a ligand or component from a molecular complex. Whether you’re preparing a presentation, investigating structural hypotheses, or producing educational material, animating this process in…
When working with complex molecular systems, clarity matters. But as your structures grow, so does the risk of visual clutter — especially if labels start overlapping or hide critical parts of your model. Labels in SAMSON are crucial for annotating…
Creating attractive and informative molecular visualizations can take time—especially when you need to tweak multiple settings like visual models, color schemes, and rendering styles. If you’ve ever felt like this slows down your workflow or makes it harder to focus…
Anyone who has spent long evenings fine-tuning molecular models knows the eyestrain that comes with prolonged exposure to bright interfaces. It’s not just about aesthetics—high screen brightness in low-light environments can cause discomfort, fatigue, and reduce focus. That’s where Dark…
Molecular modeling often involves complex, dynamic simulations where every second counts — literally. When giving a molecular presentation or preparing an animation of a simulation, highlighting specific structural changes at the exact moment they occur can greatly enhance understanding. But…
When working with large molecular systems, structural models can become very complex — from polymers with multiple chains and residues to assemblies containing thousands of atoms. As your project grows, finding specific parts of your dataset can become difficult and…
