One of the challenges molecular modelers occasionally face when working with SAMSON is encountering an extension that simply won’t load. It’s frustrating when an Extension you rely on—or have just installed—doesn’t appear in your workspace. But there’s usually a very…

When working with complex molecular models in SAMSON, many users take advantage of various node types such as atoms, bonds, groups, and cameras. Cameras play a key role in setting up and reproducing specific viewpoints or visual styles, which is…

For researchers working with large molecular systems or complex models, visual clarity is critical. As projects grow, molecular modelers often annotate their systems using notes—whether to track hypotheses, mark interaction hotspots, or assist with collaborative storytelling. But as the number…

One of the recurring tasks in molecular modeling is selecting specific parts of a model based on meaningful structural properties. When dealing with large or complex biomolecular assemblies in SAMSON, identifying chains with, for example, a specific number of residues…

Molecular modeling projects in SAMSON can involve highly complex systems, often made up of thousands of nodes: atoms, bonds, residues, visual models, and more. But what happens when you’re carefully inspecting your structure and something seems… missing? 🤔 Hidden or…

When working with complex molecular systems in SAMSON, the ability to efficiently select specific parts of your model—especially node groups—is essential for organizing your workspace, automating repetitive tasks, or applying transformations and analyses only where intended. This post focuses on…

When working on complex molecular systems, it’s common to feel overwhelmed by the sheer number of visual elements on the screen. Whether you’re analyzing a specific interaction site or preparing a figure for publication, being able to control which visual…
