When working with molecular structures, atom selection can become a tedious and repetitive task, especially in large systems like crystals, biomolecules, or complex nanostructures. Often, modelers want to focus on specific regions — say, atoms with certain charges, atoms within…

Molecular modelers often have a favorite script, algorithm, or visualization routine they reach for—something they’ve fine-tuned to match their workflow. But integrating these custom tools into large, extensible platforms can feel out of reach without advanced programming setups, complicated builds,…

When working with large molecular assemblies, crystal structures, or intricate protein systems, selecting the right atoms can be surprisingly time-consuming. Graphical selection tools may work well for small molecules, but they tend to get messy when you’re dealing with thousands—or…

If you’re spending long hours working on molecular models, you’ve probably noticed how harsh bright interfaces can be on the eyes—especially in low-light environments. Whether you’re modeling late into the night or simply prefer a more subdued interface, SAMSON’s dark…

Creating compelling molecular presentations isn’t just about pretty graphics — it’s about telling a story. Molecular modelers often struggle with managing the visibility of atoms, molecules or entire structures over time, especially during animated timelines where some structures need to…

For molecular modelers, repetitive tasks like removing solvent molecules, generating molecular surfaces, or adjusting visual styles are a constant part of the workflow. Traditionally, these actions require navigating through multiple menus in a complex interface. Over time, this can be…

When you prepare molecular animations to explain your research or present your findings, the clarity of visualization often makes the difference between confusion and understanding. A common challenge faced by many molecular modelers is: how to intuitively highlight structural features…
