Protein structure alignment is a routine task for molecular modelers, but ensuring accuracy while maintaining simplicity in workflows can be an ongoing challenge. If you’re comparing homologous proteins across species, monitoring conformational changes in mutants, or working on structural alignment…

When working on molecular modeling, precisely aligning atomic structures is often essential for tasks like comparative studies, docking, and visualizing symmetry across molecules. If you have ever struggled with manual alignment or ensuring your structures are properly positioned, then SAMSON’s…

Have you ever launched SAMSON on a high DPI monitor only to find that the icons appear uncomfortably small? Working effectively in molecular modeling requires an intuitive and clear interface, and small icons can cause frustration by hampering navigation and…

When working as a molecular modeler, managing molecule representations effectively is often essential for analyzing structures and presenting results. SAMSON’s SMILES Manager, powered by RDKit, offers an intuitive way to generate, update, and manipulate 2D depictions of SMILES strings. Let’s…

For molecular modelers working with SAMSON, efficiently navigating and utilizing editors is crucial for streamlined workflows. Editors are integral tools within SAMSON that respond to user interactions, such as mouse clicks or keyboard inputs. They allow you to generate nanotubes,…

Visual storytelling through molecular animations is a powerful tool for molecular modelers, allowing you to clearly communicate complex structural changes or dynamics. However, one common problem arises when you need your audience to focus on a specific moment in the…
