How to Quickly Find Segments with Specific Properties in Molecular Models

If you’ve ever worked on large molecular systems in SAMSON and struggled to filter or select specific segments based on structural or visual attributes, you’re not alone. Whether you’re analyzing simulations or preparing publication-ready visuals, efficiently narrowing down large systems…

Can’t See Your Molecule? Understanding Why Nodes Disappear in SAMSON

OneAngstrom

When working with complex molecular systems in SAMSON, it’s not uncommon to run into the issue of nodes—atoms, molecules, bonds—seemingly vanishing from view. But are they really gone? Often, the problem isn’t in the data itself, but how that data…

Keeping Your Molecule Centered While Moving Upward: The Pedestal Camera Trick

OneAngstrom

When preparing animations for molecular presentations, clarity of motion and point of view are crucial. Whether you’re highlighting structural changes in a protein or showing a drug docking process, a smooth, coherent camera move can make all the difference. If…

Stuck in a Workflow? SAMSON’s Built-in Interactive Tutorials Might Help

OneAngstrom

One common hurdle for molecular modelers—especially those new to a platform—is the steep learning curve when trying to understand software workflows. Even experienced users may occasionally find it time-consuming to recall how to set up a particular simulation or visualization.…

Better Force Field Results? Try Customizing UFF Typization in SAMSON

OneAngstrom

When it comes to molecular simulations, force fields are essential: they help define how atoms interact and how the system behaves. The Universal Force Field (UFF) is popular for its ability to support a broad range of elements. But molecular…

Fast Selection Switching with Quick Groups in SAMSON

OneAngstrom

When working with complex molecular systems, switching efficiently between different areas of interest is crucial. Whether you’re analyzing binding sites, separating receptor and ligand views, or toggling between multiple regions during a design session, spending time reselecting elements can quickly…

Running Molecular Dynamics Simulations in the Cloud with GROMACS Wizard

OneAngstrom

Setting up and running molecular dynamics (MD) simulations with GROMACS can be demanding in terms of both time and computational resources. If you’re working with large systems, using a laptop or a local workstation might not be efficient enough. Fortunately,…

Working Smarter with Visual Model Visibility Flags in SAMSON

OneAngstrom

If you’ve ever opened a molecular model in SAMSON and found yourself overwhelmed by a cluttered workspace, you’re not alone. When dealing with complex assemblies, visual noise can slow down your analysis and make focusing on specific components more difficult.…

Quickly Identify Specific Files in SAMSON Using NSL

OneAngstrom

In large molecular modeling projects, keeping track of different data files can quickly become overwhelming. When you’re dealing with networks containing hundreds or thousands of files and nodes, being able to rapidly locate, filter, or select specific types of files…

Reducing Eye Strain While Modeling Molecules in SAMSON

OneAngstrom

Long hours spent working on molecular structures can be visually demanding, especially when navigating intricate 3D models and data-rich interfaces. If you’re a molecular modeler using SAMSON, you might have experienced eye fatigue, particularly in low-light environments or during evening…
