Tired of Searching Menus? Try Natural Language Commands in SAMSON

If you spend a significant portion of your day exploring molecular models, you’ve likely lost time navigating complex menus, toggling panels, or trying to remember tool names. This friction breaks flow and adds an unnecessary cognitive load. With SAMSON AI,…

A Simple Way to Highlight Key Moments in Your Molecular Storytelling

OneAngstrom

Whether you are preparing a molecular presentation for a class, a conference, or a publication video, one of the most common challenges is how to clearly structure complex visual information. Viewers can quickly become overwhelmed by intricate structures, especially when…

Saving Molecular Conformations: From Single Pose to Full Trajectory

OneAngstrom

Molecular modelers often explore complex motions of biomolecules to understand conformational changes, such as pocket opening or domain reorientation. These motions are typically investigated through normal mode analysis, but capturing and reusing particular conformations efficiently can be more challenging than…

A Simpler Way to Track and Retrieve Your Cloud Simulations

OneAngstrom

Running complex molecular simulations like AlphaFold predictions or GROMACS calculations in the cloud is a significant step forward in productivity for molecular modelers. But with great scalability comes an important new challenge: managing and retrieving the extensive outputs these jobs…

Bringing Depth to Molecular Models with Ambient Occlusion

OneAngstrom

One of the most common challenges molecular modelers face is making molecular structures easy to interpret visually. When complex molecular systems are densely packed or intricately folded, it’s often hard to distinguish between overlapping parts or to perceive depth clearly.…

Filtering Molecular Files by Name and Selection in SAMSON

OneAngstrom

Molecular modelers often work with numerous structural files during their design workflows: input files from collaborators, output files from simulations, experimental datasets, and more. Sifting through these to identify which ones are important, modified, or selected for further analysis is…

Struggling to Reach Stable Simulation Temperatures? Here’s a Reliable Way to Do It Using GROMACS Wizard

OneAngstrom

One of the key challenges in molecular dynamics simulations is ensuring your system reaches and maintains a stable target temperature before production runs. For many molecular modelers, this step — known as NVT equilibration — can be a source of…

Quickly Find Segments with Many Residues: A Useful NSL Query for Large Structures

OneAngstrom

When working with large molecular systems, it can be challenging to isolate meaningful parts of a structure, especially when dealing with complex proteins or multi-component assemblies. Molecular modelers often need to find and inspect specific segments—such as those containing many…

From Prompt to Python: Let SAMSON AI Write Your Scripts

OneAngstrom

For many molecular modelers, scripting can be both empowering and intimidating. Python gives you immense control over molecular systems in SAMSON, but what if you’re not confident with the syntax? Or you just want to speed things up? SAMSON AI…

How to Customize Atom Types and Bond Orders in UFF Simulations

OneAngstrom

Molecular modelers often rely on automatic perception tools to assign atom types and bond orders, which keeps simulations quick and intuitive. However, these automated systems may not always capture specific bonding environments or unusual structures, leading to inaccuracies in energy…
