Accelerate Fragment-Based Library Design with SMILES Manager in SAMSON

Designing and optimizing molecular libraries can be a time-consuming and repetitive process, particularly when you need to generate compound variations by swapping out functional groups or fragments. If you’ve ever wanted to explore isosteric replacements or quickly prototype a series…

Are Your Lights Actually Visible in SAMSON? Avoid This Common Pitfall.

OneAngstrom

When building molecular scenes in SAMSON, many modelers encounter a simple but confusing problem: lights are present in the document but have no visible effect. Sometimes, it seems like you’ve configured everything correctly—yet the lighting feels like it’s missing. One…

Three Attributes That Help You Quickly Filter File Nodes in SAMSON

OneAngstrom

When working with complex molecular systems in SAMSON, managing and filtering nodes efficiently becomes essential—especially when you’re dealing with large datasets involving multiple file nodes. One question that often arises among molecular modelers is: how can I easily select or…

How the Sampling Box Influences Ligand Unbinding Pathways

OneAngstrom

When working with protein-ligand systems, one of the recurring challenges in computational modeling is understanding how a ligand exits its binding site. The process isn’t always intuitive, especially in complex or embedded binding pockets. SAMSON’s Ligand Path Finder app offers…

Quickly Build Custom Carbon Nanotubes for Simulations and Designs

OneAngstrom

For molecular modelers and nanoscientists working with carbon nanotubes (CNTs), setting up accurate atomic models can be a time-consuming and error-prone process. Whether you’re studying transport mechanisms, conducting materials simulations, or designing nanodevices, being able to generate and customize CNTs…

Effortlessly Define Custom Index Groups for GROMACS Simulations in SAMSON

OneAngstrom

When preparing molecular dynamics simulations using GROMACS, a common hurdle arises: how to define specific groups of atoms or residues for analysis, restraints, or pulling simulations. GROMACS provides a set of default index groups (such as Protein, Water, or Ions),…

Center and Align Molecular Structures in Seconds with SAMSON

OneAngstrom

If you work with molecular models, chances are you’ve run into the frustration of misaligned structures. Whether you are comparing different conformers, preparing models for visualization, or setting up simulations, having your molecules neatly organized in the coordinate space is…

Before You Simulate: How to Clean Up Molecular Structures the Smart Way

OneAngstrom

Geometry optimization is one of the most crucial steps in molecular modeling. Whether you’re preparing a structure for dynamics, adjusting imported experimental data, or simply trying to understand molecular conformations better, a good cleanup process can save you both time…

Declutter Your Molecular Scene: Mastering Label Visibility in SAMSON

OneAngstrom

When working on complex molecular systems, visualization is key. But have you ever opened a molecular model and found yourself buried under a forest of overlapping labels? Labels for every atom, residue, and molecule crowding the screen can slow down…

Making Measurements Clearer: Customizing Labels in SAMSON

OneAngstrom

When working on molecular models, clarity is everything. Whether you’re preparing material for publication, sharing insight with collaborators, or simply trying to keep track of atomic measurements during a simulation, visual readability matters. In SAMSON, the ability to measure distances,…
