Molecular modeling can be exciting and rewarding, but getting started—or even diving deeper into a complex workflow—can often feel overwhelming. Maybe you want to analyze protein-ligand binding, simulate conformational changes, or build molecular systems from scratch. Tools like SAMSON offer…

Creating clear, engaging visual presentations of molecular systems is a daily challenge for many researchers, educators, and communicators in molecular science. Whether presenting results at a conference or preparing animations for student lectures, one of the recurring pain points is…

When you’re presenting a molecular system, clarity can make a big difference. Whether you’re teaching, explaining your research, or sharing results with collaborators, the ability to focus viewers’ attention on specific parts of a model is essential. This is where…

Understanding molecular systems is often about more than just numbers—it’s about seeing the structure, interactions, and properties in ways that make patterns and behaviors intuitively clear. That’s where visual models in SAMSON come in. For molecular modelers, one recurring challenge…

If you’re spending a lot of time toggling between complex molecular data and trying to understand the structure’s shape, behavior, or properties, you’re not alone. One of the most common challenges in molecular modeling is bridging the gap between raw…

When studying molecular mechanisms like ligand unbinding, conformational transitions, or sampling along reaction coordinates, one common challenge arises: how to extract atomic trajectories for further analysis or input to other software packages. For researchers using SAMSON, the Export Along Paths…

For any molecular modeler dealing with complex structures, visualization isn’t just a convenience — it’s essential. Whether preparing publication images, presentations, or simply exploring molecular systems, manually adjusting representations, colors, visibility, and selections can quickly become repetitive and time-consuming. Visual…

When analyzing molecular dynamics simulations or visualizing chemical reactions, it’s easy to lose track of the parts of the molecule you’re most interested in. As atoms shift, rotate, and translate across frames, it can be tedious to continuously reposition the…

When working on complex molecular models, clarity is key. Visualizing structural measurements like bond lengths or angles is essential—but what’s equally important is how these measurements are displayed. Without appropriate visual cues, it’s easy for annotations to clutter your workspace…
