Making Molecular Models Fade Into View

One of the recurring challenges molecular modelers face when presenting complex models is guiding the viewer’s attention without overwhelming them. Whether you’re demonstrating molecular assemblies, structural mechanisms, or visual effects for educational content, drawing focus progressively in animations can make…

Quickly Filter Molecular Chains by Number of Residues in SAMSON

If you’ve ever worked on a large biomolecular simulation, chances are you’ve dealt with complex systems containing dozens—or even hundreds—of chains. Whether you’re cleaning up your system, focusing only on specific interactions, or preparing subsets for visualization or analysis, selecting…

A Simple Way to Visually Convey Molecular Rotation

One common challenge in molecular modeling is clearly and efficiently conveying dynamic behavior of systems, especially when preparing scientific presentations or instructional materials. Still images often fall short in highlighting spatial transformations, such as molecular rotations. This is where SAMSON’s…
