Solving Visibility Overload: Use the Disappear Animation to Focus on What Matters

When working with complex molecular systems, it’s easy to get lost in a sea of atoms, bonds, labels, and models. Whether you’re crafting a presentation for a paper or a visualization for teaching, clarity is key. One common pain point…

Easier Molecular Flythroughs with Horizontal Camera Moves

OneAngstrom

Creating smooth molecular flythroughs can be a real challenge, especially when you’re trying to guide viewers along a complex structure without disorienting them. Whether you’re preparing a video for a publication, a presentation, or educational content, camera transitions matter. One…

Making Sense of Molecular Complexity: Understanding Node Types in SAMSON

OneAngstrom

When working with complex molecular systems, researchers often find themselves juggling multiple representations, layers of information, and relationships between parts of their models. In SAMSON, a molecular design platform, this complexity is managed through an elegant and flexible concept: node…

Making Molecular Models Fly Apart: a Better Way to Show Complex Structures

OneAngstrom

Understanding complex molecular assemblies often requires more than just rotating a 3D model. Scientists, educators, and students frequently encounter a common problem: how to clearly communicate the internal organization or substructure of intricate molecular systems. When proteins interact or form…

Quickly Spot Hidden or Selected Nodes in SAMSON Using NSL Filters

OneAngstrom

When working on complex molecular systems in SAMSON, especially those involving extensive hierarchies of data structures and visual elements, it’s easy to get lost among numerous nodes. You may find yourself asking: Which nodes are currently selected?, or Which property…

Molecular Animation Made Easy: A Visual Guide with the SAMSON Animator

OneAngstrom

Creating molecular animations can be indispensable in understanding and communicating complex structural changes, docking processes, or atomistic mechanisms. However, for many researchers or educators, the animation process often feels daunting or overly technical. Fortunately, SAMSON offers a powerful and visual…

Tired of file format headaches? Here’s how SAMSON handles it.

OneAngstrom

If you work in molecular modeling, you’ve probably come across this familiar situation: you’ve found a dataset that looks useful, but your modeling tool can’t open it. Navigating through file incompatibility is a common roadblock. Protein Data Bank (PDB)? Easy.…

Progressive Atom Reveal: A Clear Way to Highlight Molecular Change

OneAngstrom

One common challenge in molecular modeling and presentations is how to communicate structural changes without losing clarity. Whether you’re showing molecular growth, selective syntheses, or conformational changes, visualizing atoms appearing gradually—not all at once—can be much more effective. This is…

A Smoother View: Make Your Molecular Presentations More Dynamic with the Pedestal Camera

OneAngstrom

When working with complex molecular systems, showcasing your model from the right perspective can make a world of difference. Whether you’re preparing a presentation, creating an educational video, or simply analyzing a structure for yourself, smooth and controlled camera motion…

Undo Gone Wrong? How to Recover from Mistakes When Modeling Molecules

OneAngstrom

Every molecular modeler has been there: after hours of careful edits, one wrong click sends your molecular system into disarray. Accidentally deleting a molecule, misplacing an atom, or erasing a key interaction can be frustrating—especially when you can’t remember exactly…
