Preparing Protein Structures for ARAP Interpolation: A Key First Step

When modeling structural transitions between protein conformations—whether for studying functional motions, setting up umbrella sampling, or preparing molecular dynamics simulations—a common frustration is ensuring that the input structures are properly cleaned, aligned, and ready for downstream tools. One such tool,…

A Small Trick to Visualize Molecular Undocking

OneAngstrom

When preparing molecular presentations or animations, one common challenge for modelers is clearly visualizing the undocking process—how a molecule moves away from a receptor without manually animating every step. Whether you’re demonstrating binding site dynamics or highlighting changes upon inhibitor…

Fixing Atoms Between Keyframes: A Simple Way to Improve Molecular Presentations

OneAngstrom

When creating molecular animations, getting the motion of atoms just right can be a challenge, especially when you want some atoms to stay perfectly still while others move. Whether you’re crafting a docking movie or visualizing a ligand binding process,…

Avoiding a Common Mistake in GROMACS: Custom Index Groups for COM Pulling

OneAngstrom

Setting up center-of-mass (COM) pulling simulations in GROMACS can be a highly rewarding approach to explore molecular interactions and conformational changes. But there’s a frequent stumbling block that frustrates even experienced molecular modelers: missing index groups. When setting up a…

What to Do When SAMSON Can’t Open Your Molecular File

OneAngstrom

Importing molecular structure files is often the first step in every modeling project. Whether you’re working with proteins, small molecules, or large assemblies, you likely start by loading existing data from databases or experimental results. However, many researchers face a…

Why Only One Editor Can Be Active at a Time in SAMSON

OneAngstrom

When working with molecular models in SAMSON, many users eventually ask themselves: “Why can I only have one editor active at a time?” While it may initially seem like a limitation, this design decision plays a crucial role in ensuring…

Avoid Common Pitfalls Running SAMSON on Linux: Library and Driver Setup Explained

OneAngstrom

If you’re a molecular modeler working in a Linux environment, you’ve probably encountered a familiar frustration: you download an impressive-looking platform like SAMSON, excited to explore its powerful features—only to hit a wall because something doesn’t launch or render properly.…

Making Notes Work for You: Visibility, Selection, and More in SAMSON

OneAngstrom

For molecular modelers working on complex systems, clarity is everything. Whether you’re annotating molecular designs with notes, organizing structures, or filtering selected models, keeping track of visual and logical markers can become overwhelming. That’s where the note attributes in SAMSON’s…

Seeing Your Molecules Clearly: Organize and Navigate with SAMSON’s Document View

OneAngstrom

Working with complex molecular systems isn’t just about atom placements or energy calculations—it’s also about staying organized. When you’re managing multiple structures, simulations, and design components, locating and modifying specific parts of your system efficiently becomes a challenge. That’s where…

Managing Shared Molecular Files with Precision on SAMSON Connect

OneAngstrom

Collaborative molecular modeling often means sharing simulation results, structural models, and analysis documents with colleagues, collaborators, or students. But how do you ensure your work is shared securely, with the right level of access and control? SAMSON Connect offers a…
