Have you ever spent time crafting a clear view of your molecular system, only to find the camera angle inexplicably shifts during playback or renders? If you’re using SAMSON for molecular modeling and presentations, this might sound familiar. Thankfully, there’s…

Designing new analogues of a lead compound is a daily task for many molecular modelers and medicinal chemists. But one recurring challenge remains: how can we efficiently suggest and visualize meaningful changes to a molecule—and study their effect on properties…

When working with molecular structures, selecting specific atoms based on precise conditions can be time-consuming and error-prone. Graphical selection tools may be sufficient for simple tasks, but what if you need to isolate only carbon and hydrogen atoms? Or atoms…

When creating molecular animations, clarity is key. Animations are often used to illustrate conformational changes, docking events, or assembly mechanisms—but what happens when the entire structure is moving, and you just want to highlight a specific interaction or motion? Unwanted…

Color plays a crucial role in molecular modeling. Whether you’re presenting a simulation, analyzing protein structures, or preparing material for a publication, the ability to clearly distinguish different molecular entities and properties can make a significant difference in communication and…

When visualizing molecular simulations, being able to move forward through a trajectory is only one part of the story. Sometimes, depending on the system you’re modeling, watching a conformational change in reverse offers crucial insights. Whether you’re analyzing protein folding,…

One of the powerful features of the SAMSON platform is its extensibility through SAMSON Extensions—modular tools that enhance the capabilities of your molecular modeling workflow. Whether you’re interested in machine learning models for protein folding, advanced visualization tools, or simulation…

Have you ever placed labels to annotate atoms, residues, or molecules in your SAMSON model, only to see them vanish as you zoom out? This can be frustrating, especially when preparing visuals or sharing interactive models. Fortunately, there’s a systematic…
