Want to Add Your Own Molecular Modeling Tools? Here’s How to Create a SAMSON Extension

Molecular modelers often have a favorite script, algorithm, or visualization routine they reach for—something they’ve fine-tuned to match their workflow. But integrating these custom tools into large, extensible platforms can feel out of reach without advanced programming setups, complicated builds,…

Quickly Select Atoms with Math: A Better Way to Tame Big Structures

OneAngstrom

When working with large molecular assemblies, crystal structures, or intricate protein systems, selecting the right atoms can be surprisingly time-consuming. Graphical selection tools may work well for small molecules, but they tend to get messy when you’re dealing with thousands—or…

Less Eye Strain, Better Focus: Using Dark Mode in SAMSON

OneAngstrom

If you’re spending long hours working on molecular models, you’ve probably noticed how harsh bright interfaces can be on the eyes—especially in low-light environments. Whether you’re modeling late into the night or simply prefer a more subdued interface, SAMSON’s dark…

Quickly Filtering Backbone Groups in Complex Molecules

OneAngstrom

When designing, analyzing, or editing macromolecular systems in SAMSON, researchers often need to isolate specific backbone groups based on their chemical or visual characteristics. Whether it’s identifying hidden segments of a protein, locating backbones with extremely high partial charges, or…

Make Molecules Appear at the Right Time: Using the Show Animation in SAMSON

OneAngstrom

Creating compelling molecular presentations isn’t just about pretty graphics — it’s about telling a story. Molecular modelers often struggle with managing the visibility of atoms, molecules or entire structures over time, especially during animated timelines where some structures need to…

Skip the Menus: Using Natural Language to Command SAMSON AI

OneAngstrom

For molecular modelers, repetitive tasks like removing solvent molecules, generating molecular surfaces, or adjusting visual styles are a constant part of the workflow. Traditionally, these actions require navigating through multiple menus in a complex interface. Over time, this can be…

Quickly Focus on the Right View: Filtering Cameras in SAMSON with NSL

OneAngstrom

When working with complex molecular systems in SAMSON, managing multiple cameras—each representing a different molecular view or visualization setup—can easily become overwhelming. Especially in large projects or collaborative environments, a user might find themselves digging through long lists of viewpoint…

Making Molecular Presentations Smoother with Rotate Animations

OneAngstrom

When you prepare molecular animations to explain your research or present your findings, the clarity of visualization often makes the difference between confusion and understanding. A common challenge faced by many molecular modelers is: how to intuitively highlight structural features…

Targeting Specific Node Groups in SAMSON Without the Guesswork

OneAngstrom

When working with complex molecular systems in SAMSON, it’s common to organize nodes into groups to simplify selection and manipulation. Whether you’re modeling biomacromolecules or designing nanosystems, node groups help provide structure. But once your model grows, quickly identifying or…

Focus Without Following: Keeping the Camera Steady in Molecular Animations

OneAngstrom

When creating molecular animations, researchers and educators often want to visualize how specific regions of a molecule or molecular system behave over time. However, a common frustration is trying to keep the camera focused on a particular region without having…
