How to Design Custom Polymer Sequences with Precision

Designing polymers with specific repeating units—especially when bond types matter—is a common challenge for molecular modelers working on materials science, drug delivery, or bioengineering applications. While small molecules can be drawn fairly quickly, building realistic polymer sequences with chemically accurate…

Using Your Own GROMACS Build in SAMSON Without Breaking a Sweat

One common frustration in molecular modeling workflows is ensuring that simulations are reproducible and compatible with local computing environments. Especially for researchers fine-tuning their systems or working in highly specialized setups, using a customized version of GROMACS instead of the…

Quickly Show or Hide Lights in SAMSON Using NSL Queries

When working with complex molecular systems in SAMSON, lighting plays a key role in visualization. However, troubleshooting or adjusting the lighting setup — especially in large, multi-light scenes — can become inefficient if you’re relying solely on manual selections and…

A quick way to toggle light visibility in SAMSON using NSL

In molecular modeling, especially when rendering complex scenes or setting up simulations, it can become cumbersome to manually manage all the elements in your scene—particularly light sources. Lights play a critical role in how molecular structures are visualized, but as…
