Easier Molecular Motion: How to Animate Atoms in SAMSON Without Scripts

Animating molecular systems is a powerful way to communicate ideas, validate hypotheses visually, and produce engaging scientific presentations. Yet for many molecular modelers, creating such animations can feel out of reach, especially if it involves scripting or manual work frame…

What to Do When Your Molecular File Won’t Load

OneAngstrom

Molecular modelers often face issues when trying to load structural or experimental files into their modeling environment. Whether you’re trying to open a .pdb, a volumetric data file, or a custom format exported from lab equipment, hitting the dreaded “file…

How to Share Reproducible Molecular Workflows with Embedded Python Apps in SAMSON

OneAngstrom

Reproducibility is an ongoing challenge in molecular modeling. Whether you’re a researcher distributing a protocol, an educator preparing a hands-on course, or an AI enthusiast developing predictive models, ensuring that others can run your code exactly as you intended often…

Can’t Open That Molecular File? Here’s How SAMSON Makes It Easier

OneAngstrom

Working with molecular data means navigating a complex landscape of file formats: PDB, MOL2, CUBE, CCP4, and many more. For molecular modelers, researchers, or educators, the inability to open a needed structure or simulation file often interrupts the workflow, requiring…

Easily Read, Write, and Run Python Scripts Inside SAMSON

OneAngstrom

Python scripting has become essential for many in the scientific computing world—especially molecular modelers who often need to automate tasks, analyze data, or build custom tools. If you use SAMSON, the integrative molecular design platform, the good news is: Python…

Making Your Molecules Appear Exactly When You Need Them

OneAngstrom

Animations are a powerful way to communicate complex molecular mechanisms, transitions, or states. But if you’ve ever struggled to control when specific parts of your molecular model appear in a presentation or animation — you’re not alone. Molecular modelers often…

Avoid Simulation Headaches: How to Clean Up Molecular Structures Quickly in SAMSON

OneAngstrom

Before diving into simulations, molecular modelers often face an all-too-familiar problem: starting with a messy structure. Whether importing from experimental data like NMR or public databases, your molecule might contain steric clashes, unrelaxed bond lengths, or awkward conformations. Running a…

Installing SAMSON Without Admin Rights: A Relief for Molecular Modelers in Restricted Environments

OneAngstrom

Many researchers in academia and industry face the same challenge: powerful new molecular modeling tools exist, but installing them on shared or restricted systems often requires admin privileges. If you’ve ever spent days waiting for IT approvals just to try…

Making Molecules Move: Camera Path Animations in SAMSON

OneAngstrom

One of the most time-consuming challenges in molecular modeling is not computational—it’s communicational. You’ve built a molecular model or run a simulation, and now you want to present it in an engaging, clear way. Images can only do so much,…

Using Folders to Tame Complex Molecular Projects in SAMSON

OneAngstrom

Handling large molecular systems often means dealing with hundreds or even thousands of individual structural components—molecules, residues, atoms, and sometimes metadata or scripts. Keeping track of them all while maintaining focus on your modeling goal can quickly become overwhelming. This…
