Working on molecular systems often demands focus, clarity, and efficiency. And yet, one of the most common frustrations voiced by new and experienced SAMSON users alike is finding and organizing the right tools at the right time. Between document views,…

One common challenge molecular modelers face when presenting their work is managing visual clarity. Whether you’re building a complex mechanistic animation or simply highlighting a specific part of a molecule, the need to temporarily hide certain elements for clarity is…

One of the most common challenges in protein-protein docking is managing the enormous search space—which often results in high computational costs and a surplus of false positives. If you know the likely binding region in advance, there’s a simple way…

Visualizing structural changes in biomolecules isn’t just about seeing movement — it’s about understanding the dynamics of life at the molecular level. Whether you’re preparing a presentation or analyzing how a ligand docked, playing back trajectory paths in a clear…

For many molecular modelers and chemoinformaticians, turning a list of SMILES strings into meaningful 3D molecular structures remains a recurring task. Whether you’re preparing a virtual screening library, visualizing molecular conformations, or setting up a simulation, the process often involves…

Color can significantly impact how molecular models are interpreted. Whether you’re analyzing electrostatic potential, comparing structural models, or making your visualizations publication-ready, selecting the appropriate color palette is essential. Yet, many molecular modelers overlook this crucial step or settle for…

Designing precise carbon nanotube (CNT) structures can be challenging for molecular modelers and nanoscientists. Whether you’re simulating electronic properties, creating nanochannels, or building hybrid materials, getting the exact tube parameters right isn’t always straightforward—especially if your tools don’t provide direct…
