Selecting molecular regions with simple language in SAMSON AI

When working with complex molecular structures, identifying and isolating regions of interest—binding sites, side chains, specific residues across chains—can be time-consuming, especially across large molecular systems. Traditionally, this requires either manual inspection or scripting in specialized query languages. SAMSON AI,…

A Smooth Way to Horizontally Pan Your Molecular Scene

OneAngstrom

When creating molecular animations, showcasing specific regions of your system often means more than simply rotating a structure or zooming in. Many researchers face the challenge of highlighting a pathway, an interface, or an elongated molecular system in a progressive…

Quickly Find Large Molecular Conformations with a Simple Attribute Query

OneAngstrom

When working on simulations or structure analysis involving biomolecules or polymers, molecular modelers often deal with numerous conformations. Sifting through these to isolate the most relevant ones—such as those with a high number of atoms—can become time-consuming, especially when visual…

Why Your Molecular Extension Might Not Load in SAMSON

OneAngstrom

You’ve developed or downloaded a SAMSON Extension you were excited to try, only to discover it doesn’t load when you launch SAMSON. If you’re working in molecular modeling and rely on extensions to speed up your workflows—whether for visualization, simulation,…
