Quickly Find Chains by Atom Counts in SAMSON

When working with complex molecular models in SAMSON, it’s easy to get lost in the layers of structural information—atoms, residues, chains, segments, and so on. For molecular modelers, one of the most time-consuming tasks can be identifying specific chains based…

Avoiding Common Pitfalls When Creating Coarse-Grained Models with Multiple Protein Replicas

OneAngstrom

Simulating systems with multiple copies of a protein—such as membrane-bound proteins or protein condensates—is common in molecular modeling. Coarse-graining these systems using MARTINI force fields can significantly accelerate simulations, but there’s a critical step that often causes confusion: handling multiple…

Avoid Simulation Artifacts: How to Define the Box for COM Pulling in GROMACS

OneAngstrom

When running a center-of-mass (COM) pulling simulation in molecular dynamics, one critical and often overlooked step is setting the simulation box size appropriately. Without enough space in the pulling direction, your simulation can suffer from periodic boundary artifacts, invalidating results…

Let Your Molecules Talk Back: Using Voice Commands in SAMSON AI

OneAngstrom

If you’ve ever wished you could talk to your molecular modeling software and have it respond with actions, that moment has arrived. One of the lesser-known but surprisingly handy features of SAMSON AI, the intelligent assistant integrated into the SAMSON…

Avoid Email Chaos: A Smarter Way to Share Molecular Files

OneAngstrom

One of the recurring frustrations for molecular modelers is trying to collaborate efficiently with peers. Whether you’re sharing molecular designs, simulation input files, or results with a colleague, supervisor, or an entire team, the typical exchange happens over long email…

Avoid Simulation Failures: Test Your Molecular Dynamics Setup Locally First

OneAngstrom

Running molecular dynamics simulations—especially in the cloud—can consume both time and computational credits. For researchers using SAMSON’s GROMACS Wizard, launching a simulation in the cloud is surprisingly easy. However, when something goes wrong during a run, troubleshooting can be frustrating…

Making Molecular Projects Portable with File Embedding in SAMSON

OneAngstrom

Keeping all your data organized and portable is one of the recurring challenges in molecular modeling. Whether you’re working on protein-ligand simulations, sharing results with collaborators, or archiving your work for future reference, one thing is certain: jumping between multiple…

Exporting Protein Conformational Paths as 3D Trajectories in SAMSON

OneAngstrom

Understanding how a protein transitions between conformations is a key goal in structural biology. While computational tools for finding these paths exist, researchers frequently struggle with an important practical question: how can we export and visualize these conformational transitions in…

How to Turn Molecules into Monomers in SAMSON’s Polymer Builder

OneAngstrom

One of the most common challenges in molecular modeling lies in **polymer customization**. You might have specific monomer units you want to connect or test, but lack a visual, structured, and flexible way to define them before building full polymer…

How to Quickly Filter Cameras in Large Molecular Projects

OneAngstrom

When working with complex molecular scenes in SAMSON, it’s easy to lose track of your camera nodes. Especially in projects where multiple team members are defining views, capturing specific angles, or setting up animations, camera nodes can accumulate—and selecting or…
