Quickly Edit Molecular Properties with the Inspector in SAMSON

When modeling complex molecular systems, small adjustments to atomic properties — such as positions, element types, or custom user-defined attributes — can have a significant impact on stability, interactions, or simulation outcomes. For both beginners and experienced molecular designers, there’s…

Setting Up Umbrella Sampling Projects From GROMACS Trajectories

Many molecular modelers working with GROMACS face a recurring challenge when preparing Umbrella Sampling simulations: extracting and organizing suitable initial conformations from a trajectory. While this may seem like a straightforward preprocessing step, doing it repeatedly — and correctly —…

Making Atoms Appear Progressively in Molecular Animations

Creating clear and compelling visualizations is one of the ongoing challenges in molecular modeling. Whether you’re preparing a molecular animation for a publication, a presentation, or for educational purposes, making it easier for your audience to follow structural transformations step-by-step…

Making Molecular Models Breathe with the Pulse Animation

Visualizing complex molecular systems can be overwhelming, especially when trying to guide your audience’s attention or highlight dynamic elements in your presentation. Whether you’re preparing a research talk, teaching a class, or sharing insights with colleagues, animations can help make…

Quickly Finding Conformations by Atom Count in SAMSON

When working with complex molecular systems, molecular modelers often deal with multiple conformations of a structure. Whether you’re filtering simulated outputs, preparing structures for further analysis, or needing to isolate specific states from a pool, being able to quickly find…

A Clearer Way to Reveal Molecular Structure in Animations

Presenting complex molecular data in a clear and engaging way can be a challenge—especially when trying to communicate how molecular assemblies form or identifying the focus of a transition. Whether you’re giving a scientific presentation, building educational content, or preparing…
