An Easier Way to Present Molecules: Orbit Camera Animation in SAMSON

Creating compelling molecular presentations can be time-consuming, especially when manually adjusting your camera to depict structures from different angles. If you’ve ever tried to record a fly-around of a protein complex or a crystal structure, you know how hard it…

Where to Find Specialized Tools for Molecular Modeling in SAMSON

OneAngstrom

For many molecular modelers, one persistent challenge is finding the right specialized tool for a specific task. Whether you’re visualizing electron densities, editing complex structures, or running cloud simulations, the core installation of a modeling platform might not offer the…

Quickly Identify Selected Node Groups While Modeling Molecules

OneAngstrom

When working with large molecular systems, it’s common to organize atoms and molecules into node groups in SAMSON, the integrative platform for molecular modeling. These groups help you manage complex scenes—from protein-ligand interactions to nanoscale assemblies. But once the complexity…

Tired of Hunting for Atom Properties? Use This Quick Filter Trick Instead.

OneAngstrom

When working on complex molecular structures, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed by the number of properties associated with each atom. Whether you’re adjusting atom positions during molecular modeling or inspecting attributes to verify structural consistency, sifting through all the information…

Easily Switch Between Molecular Selections with Quick Groups in SAMSON

OneAngstrom

Working on large or complex molecular systems often involves switching between several regions of interest — ligands, receptors, water molecules, cofactors, etc. Repeating selection steps every time can quickly become tedious and error-prone. Quick Groups in SAMSON address this pain…

Quickly Select Chains by Properties in SAMSON Using the NSL

OneAngstrom

Working with molecular models that include multiple chains can often feel overwhelming—especially if you’re trying to select or isolate specific chains based on unique criteria. Whether you’re preparing a simulation, analyzing a structure, or simply cleaning up a model, being…

Tracing Molecular Motion with Center-of-Mass Pathlines

OneAngstrom

One of the common challenges for molecular modelers is understanding how molecular components move during simulations. Whether you’re tracking a ligand unbinding from its binding pocket or studying large conformational transitions in proteins, getting a clear view of motion across…

Why Your Molecules Don’t Break Apart When You Move Atoms in SAMSON

OneAngstrom

When building or editing molecular systems, small tweaks often lead to unexpected results. Move an atom, and you might accidentally break a bond. Shift a structure, and suddenly your topology is no longer valid. This is especially painful when iteratively…

How to Efficiently Target Node Groups in SAMSON Using Attributes

OneAngstrom

If you’ve worked with complex molecular models in SAMSON, you know the importance of managing selections precisely. Whether you’re applying simulations or merely reorganizing your design, selecting the right node groups—without affecting too many unrelated parts—can be key to your…

How to Preview and Generate Symmetry Mates in SAMSON Without Breaking Your Workflow

OneAngstrom

If you work with protein structures from the Protein Data Bank (PDB), you’ve likely encountered files that only include the asymmetric unit of a biological assembly. While useful, that limited view hides the full structural context proteins adopt in crystals…
