Quickly Finding Conformations by Atom Count in SAMSON

When working with complex molecular systems, molecular modelers often deal with multiple conformations of a structure. Whether you’re filtering simulated outputs, preparing structures for further analysis, or needing to isolate specific states from a pool, being able to quickly find…

A Clearer Way to Reveal Molecular Structure in Animations

Presenting complex molecular data in a clear and engaging way can be a challenge—especially when trying to communicate how molecular assemblies form or identifying the focus of a transition. Whether you’re giving a scientific presentation, building educational content, or preparing…

Choosing Better Default Colors for Molecular Models

If you’ve ever struggled with unreadable molecular models because the selected colors look too similar—or simply don’t stand out enough—then you’re not alone. In molecular modeling, visual clarity isn’t just about aesthetics. It’s essential for correct interpretation, communication, and publication.…

Editing Atoms on the Fly in UFF Simulations with SAMSON

When simulating molecular systems, the ability to quickly adjust your model without restarting your simulation can be a game changer. Whether you’re refining structures, exploring reactivity, or correcting minor mistakes, modifying atoms during a simulation is a task that molecular…

Quickly Find and Tweak Render Presets in SAMSON with NSL

When working on molecular models in SAMSON, visuals aren’t just eye-candy — they’re essential. Whether you’re preparing a publication-quality figure or inspecting systems with dozens of different representations, being able to quickly select and adjust render presets can save a…
