Easily Control Visibility in Molecular Animations with SAMSON

Whether you’re studying protein folding or refining a ligand docking animation, clarity is key when visualizing molecular trajectories. SAMSON’s Animation Nodes allow for rich, dynamic representations of structural changes—but what if your animation is cluttered? If you’ve ever struggled to…

A Simple Way to Add Motion to Your Molecular Presentations

When preparing molecular animations, subtle and meaningful motion can greatly enhance the clarity of your visual presentations. However, not every scientific user has time to fine-tune camera paths or build complex motion scripts from scratch. If you’re looking for a…

Visualizing Ligand Unbinding with Pathlines in SAMSON

Tracking how ligands unbind from biomolecules is critical for understanding molecular interactions — but visualizing this process across a simulation trajectory can be tricky. A common struggle among molecular modelers is identifying and presenting meaningful movement without overwhelming the viewer…

From Concept to CNT: A Simple Way to Build Carbon Nanotubes in 3D

When modeling at the nanoscale, researchers, educators, and engineers often need to quickly generate accurate carbon nanotube (CNT) structures. Whether you’re simulating molecular transport, designing nanoelectromechanical systems, or visualizing nanoscale materials, building CNTs manually can become repetitive and error-prone. The…

Using Your Own GROMACS in SAMSON Wizard: Why and How

Many molecular modelers rely on the GROMACS engine for performing complex molecular dynamics simulations. While using the default versions bundled with visualization platforms is convenient, there are valid reasons to switch to a custom GROMACS version for local jobs. Whether…
