As a molecular modeler, presenting your work effectively is critical, whether for research, education, or communication with peers. Clear animations can make complex molecular structures and changes comprehensible. One common challenge is progressively fading structures out during presentations or instructional…

As molecular modelers, we often find ourselves engrossed in iterative workflows—making adjustments, analyzing outcomes, and refining structures. But how often have you wished for an easy way to revert changes or redo actions seamlessly? The ability to precisely navigate through…

When setting up molecular simulations, one challenge often faced by researchers is the need to analyze or control specialized groups of atoms—for instance, residues in a particular secondary structure. Standard tools may not always provide the flexibility required to define…

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have taken the world of nanotechnology and materials science by storm. Their unique properties make them invaluable for designing nanoscale devices, studying molecular mechanisms, and much more. However, modeling them efficiently can be challenging, especially if you’re…

For molecular modelers, keeping track of specific dynamic regions within a system while navigating complex trajectories is often a challenge. The ‘Follow atoms’ animation feature in SAMSON offers an efficient and intuitive way to solve this pain point, ensuring your…

For molecular modelers working on creating intuitive and visually appealing molecular designs, effectively managing transparency can be a significant challenge. Imagine you're presenting a complex molecular structure with layered details. You want certain nodes to progressively appear, emphasizing specific parts…

Molecular modeling often involves presenting atomic movements to communicate findings or to simulate various scenarios. But what if you could not only visualize these movements but also record and analyze them later? SAMSON's Record path animation feature offers a highly…
