Target Specific Atoms by Geometry in SAMSON: A Practical Guide for Molecular Modeling

One of the recurring challenges in molecular modeling is selecting atoms based on structural properties – particularly geometry. For instance, identifying atoms with tetrahedral geometry can be important for understanding chemical reactivity, assigning force field parameters, or preparing input for…

Make Models Fade Naturally with the Disappear Animation in SAMSON

OneAngstrom

In molecular modeling, visual clarity is key. Whether you are preparing educational content, publishing research, or just trying to better understand a complex structure, being able to control what appears and disappears from your view can make a big difference.…

From Molecules to Meshes: Exporting 3D Geometries with SAMSON

OneAngstrom

Molecular modelers often want to export their models as 3D geometries—for 3D printing, visual design, AR/VR environments, or integration into other platforms. But not every molecular modeling platform makes this easy. Fortunately, SAMSON provides a clear path for exporting molecular…

When You’re Stuck in Molecular Modeling, Try This

OneAngstrom

Molecular modeling can be exciting and rewarding, but getting started—or even diving deeper into a complex workflow—can often feel overwhelming. Maybe you want to analyze protein-ligand binding, simulate conformational changes, or build molecular systems from scratch. Tools like SAMSON offer…

Understanding molecular systems is often about more than just numbers—it’s about seeing the structure, interactions, and properties in ways that make patterns and behaviors intuitively clear. That’s where visual models in SAMSON come in. For molecular modelers, one recurring challenge…

Seeing Molecules: How Visual Models Make Molecular Modeling More Intuitive

OneAngstrom

If you’re spending a lot of time toggling between complex molecular data and trying to understand the structure’s shape, behavior, or properties, you’re not alone. One of the most common challenges in molecular modeling is bridging the gap between raw…

Exporting Atomic Trajectories for Reaction Coordinates: A Practical Guide

OneAngstrom

When studying molecular mechanisms like ligand unbinding, conformational transitions, or sampling along reaction coordinates, one common challenge arises: how to extract atomic trajectories for further analysis or input to other software packages. For researchers using SAMSON, the Export Along Paths…

Save Time by Customizing Molecular Views with Visual Presets

OneAngstrom

For any molecular modeler dealing with complex structures, visualization isn’t just a convenience — it’s essential. Whether preparing publication images, presentations, or simply exploring molecular systems, manually adjusting representations, colors, visibility, and selections can quickly become repetitive and time-consuming.
