Reveal or Conceal: Practical Tips for Managing Visual Models in SAMSON

When working on complex molecular systems in SAMSON, even the most detailed modeler can feel overwhelmed by visual clutter. Whether you’re analyzing protein-ligand binding, manipulating materials, or preparing publication-ready figures, understanding and controlling what is visible — and what isn’t…

Quickly Find the Right Structural Groups with Smart Attribute Filters in SAMSON

OneAngstrom

When working on complex molecular systems, molecular modelers often face the tedious task of filtering and selecting just the right parts of a model. Whether you’re preparing data for simulations, cleaning structures before exporting, or simply analyzing specific components, finding…

Making Molecules Appear at the Right Moment in Your Animations

OneAngstrom

Communicating complex molecular design work often involves more than just stunning visuals—it requires guiding the viewer’s attention to the right elements at the right time. In presentations or scientific animations, one common challenge is how to reveal certain molecular structures…

Making Molecular Structures Appear at the Right Time: The Show Animation in SAMSON

OneAngstrom

When preparing molecular animations for presentations or educational videos, one challenge comes up again and again: how to reveal molecular components at exactly the right moment. Whether you’re illustrating the binding of a ligand, the assembly of a complex, or…

Quickly filter visible and selected visual models in SAMSON

OneAngstrom

When analyzing complex molecular systems, one common pain point is maintaining clarity while working with multiple visual model nodes. These models—used to represent atoms, bonds, surfaces, labels, and more—can quickly accumulate, making it hard to isolate relevant components for analysis…

Filtering Molecular Conformations by Atom Count in SAMSON

OneAngstrom

Molecular modelers often find themselves dealing with complex systems containing many conformations. When working with such systems, it can be helpful to filter these conformations based on certain properties — such as the number of atoms they contain — in…

Quickly Find Charged or Polar Residues with NSL in SAMSON

OneAngstrom

Whether you’re analyzing protein structure-function relationships or preparing systems for simulations, selecting the right residues matters. Charged, polar, nonpolar, and terminal residues all contribute differently to binding, dynamics, or interactions with solvents. But filtering residues manually? Not efficient. If you’re…

Creating Smooth Camera Movements in Molecular Presentations with SAMSON

OneAngstrom

Have you ever struggled to keep your audience engaged during a molecular presentation? Static viewpoints, abrupt camera shifts, or confusing visual transitions can make even the most interesting molecules seem dull. Fortunately, SAMSON, the integrative molecular design platform, offers a…

Easing into molecular zooms: mastering the Dolly camera in SAMSON

OneAngstrom

Creating smooth, compelling animations that communicate molecular structures clearly is a challenge faced by many molecular modelers. Whether you’re building instructional materials, engaging with collaborators, or preparing visuals for research publications, the ability to zoom in on molecular features while…

Precise Structure Alignment in SAMSON Without Scripting

OneAngstrom

Aligning molecular structures exactly as needed is a common task for anyone working in molecular modeling—whether you’re preparing a structure for simulations, visualizing interactions between different fragments, or simply making your model more visually interpretable. Many tools require scripting for…
