Stop Digging Through Atoms Manually: Use NSL to Filter Nodes in SAMSON’s Document View

When working with complex molecular systems in SAMSON, one common pain point is sifting through countless nodes (atoms, residues, structural groups, etc.) in the Document view just to find what you need. Whether you’re inspecting a specific residue type, cleaning…

Quickly Select Chains by Number of Residues in SAMSON

OneAngstrom

In molecular modeling, navigating complex biomolecular structures often means sifting through large numbers of chains, segments, and residues. Identifying just the chains you need—especially those with a specific size or range of residues—can take time and effort if done manually.…

Stop Tinkering with Atoms: Use Visual Presets to Instantly Beautify Molecular Models

OneAngstrom

If you’ve ever spent more time formatting a molecular visualization than analyzing it, you’re not alone. Adjusting colors, toggling visibility, setting rendering parameters—all these steps add up, especially when working with large systems or during presentations. Fortunately, there’s a shortcut…

Visualize Molecules in Seconds with SAMSON’s Visual Presets

OneAngstrom

Visualizing complex molecular systems can often feel overwhelming. Between selecting the right atoms, choosing the appropriate rendering styles, and tweaking color schemes, molecular modelers spend valuable time setting up visuals instead of analyzing their data. If you’ve ever asked yourself,…

Make Your Molecular Models Self-Contained with Embedded Python Scripts

OneAngstrom

Collaborating on molecular modeling projects often requires sharing not just the structural data but also the scripts and applications that process, visualize, or simulate them. However, researchers and educators frequently struggle with keeping everything organized and reproducible across different environments.…

Easily Control Visibility in Molecular Animations with SAMSON

OneAngstrom

Whether you’re studying protein folding or refining a ligand docking animation, clarity is key when visualizing molecular trajectories. SAMSON’s Animation Nodes allow for rich, dynamic representations of structural changes—but what if your animation is cluttered? If you’ve ever struggled to…

Stop Copy-Pasting Molecular Workflows: Use Embedded Python in SAMSON Instead

OneAngstrom

If you’ve ever managed or shared computational models, simulations, or analysis routines in molecular modeling, you probably know the pain of scattered files, forgotten dependencies, or broken scripts that no longer run months later. This is especially frustrating when collaborating…

A Simple Way to Add Motion to Your Molecular Presentations

OneAngstrom

When preparing molecular animations, subtle and meaningful motion can greatly enhance the clarity of your visual presentations. However, not every scientific user has time to fine-tune camera paths or build complex motion scripts from scratch. If you’re looking for a…

Avoiding Simulation Instability: A Quick Guide to NVT Equilibration in GROMACS Wizard

OneAngstrom

If you’ve ever run a molecular dynamics simulation only to see your system blow up 🔥 right after energy minimization, you’re not alone. One of the most frequent issues molecular modelers face is rushing into full simulations without proper temperature…

A Smooth Zoom with a Twist: Getting Started with the Dolly Camera Animation in SAMSON

OneAngstrom

When working with complex molecular systems, it’s often not enough to merely show a static view⎯you need to communicate how one part of a molecule relates to another, highlight conformational changes, or just produce more engaging visualizations. This becomes especially…
