Quickly Find and Analyze Hidden Structures in SAMSON

When working with complex molecular models, it’s easy for parts of your structure to become hidden—whether intentionally (through hiding layers, atoms, or models) or unintentionally (e.g., due to inherited visibility from parent nodes). If you’ve ever found yourself wondering why…

Tweaking Residue Conformations Directly from a Ramachandran Plot

When working with protein models, it’s not uncommon to encounter residues adopting unfavorable conformations. These outliers can emerge during homology modeling, loop building, or even after seemingly successful refinements. Spotting and correcting them efficiently is crucial for improving model quality…

From Ring to Tube: Constructing Carbon Nanotubes Manually in SAMSON

Designing nanostructures like carbon nanotubes can be tedious when you’re confined to repetitive manual replication and alignment. For computational chemists, nanomodelers, and molecular designers, the lack of intuitive pattern generation tools has been a long-standing bottleneck—especially when aiming to preserve…
