Quickly Select Specific Node Groups with NSL in SAMSON

Managing and editing complex molecular models often requires selecting and organizing multiple node groups—whether you’re structuring a pathway, setting up a simulation, or preparing visualizations. But if you’ve ever found yourself manually clicking through chains of groups to isolate just…

Filtering Structural Models by Atom Count in SAMSON

When working with complex molecular systems, it’s easy for modelers to get overwhelmed by the amount of structural data—especially when switching between projects or exploring large repository folders. An important question that often arises is: How can I quickly identify…

Design Polymer Sequences in SAMSON Without Guesswork

When designing polymers for simulation, modeling, or property prediction, researchers often face a common pain point: how to manage complex monomer sequences easily and accurately. Whether you’re modeling synthetic chains or biopolymers, combining monomers in the right order with precise…

Give Your Molecules a Heartbeat with the Pulse Animation in SAMSON

Visualizing molecular behavior isn’t just about displaying a static snapshot—it’s about telling a story. Whether you’re preparing a presentation, explaining interactions in your research, or creating content for outreach, dynamic visuals help communicate effectively. But there’s a common challenge faced…

Quickly Hide or Show Nodes in SAMSON Using NSL

Managing complex molecular scenes in SAMSON can be challenging, especially when dealing with large biomolecular assemblies or hierarchical structures. Often, molecular modelers want a quick way to hide some elements (e.g., water molecules, ligands, labels) or show only the parts…
