Make Your Molecules Gently Vanish in SAMSON

When preparing animations for scientific presentations or teaching materials, molecular modelers often face a common challenge: how to clearly show the removal or disappearance of molecular parts without making the transition feel abrupt. Using simple hide/show toggles can break the…

Easily Select Chains by Residue Count in Your Molecular Models

A common challenge when working with complex biomolecular systems is efficiently identifying and selecting chains based on their characteristics. Suppose you’re analyzing a protein–protein interaction, or refining a molecular assembly, and want to focus only on chains that are sufficiently…

Installing and Editing Local Python Packages Inside SAMSON

Many molecular modelers and computational chemists have their own Python packages—for custom simulations, analysis pipelines, or even neural networks for property prediction. But using them often means jumping between development environments, terminal sessions, and structured molecule viewers. What if everything…
