Which symmetry group should you trust in your protein complex?
When working with large protein assemblies, viral capsids, or nanostructures, modeling every atom individually becomes computationally expensive. Fortunately, many of these systems exhibit internal symmetry—a pattern that can be leveraged to simplify simulations. SAMSON’s Symmetry Detection app automatically finds symmetry…
Managing Multiple Molecular Projects in SAMSON: Switching Between Open Documents with Ease
Molecular modelers often work on multiple structures simultaneously—preparing systems, analyzing interactions, or designing new molecules. But managing these workflows effectively can be challenging. You might find yourself juggling several PDBs and simulations, switching back and forth between them to cross-reference…
Finding Charged Structural Groups in Large Molecular Systems
When working with large molecular systems, molecular modelers often need to isolate relevant substructures for visualization, editing, or simulation. One common task is identifying substructures with specific formal charges—whether to locate reactive sites, predict ion binding regions, or prepare input…
Create and Preview Molecular Animations in SAMSON with the Animator
Molecular modelers often need more than static visualizations to communicate complex structural changes, docking processes, or dynamic behaviors. Animations and interactive presentations can significantly enhance clarity, whether you’re prepping material for a talk or sharing insights with a broader audience.…
