About

What does Ball & Stick do? Ball & Stick generates images and animations of three dimensional molecular models at atomic resolution from input files obtained from either structure libraries (e.g. protein data bank) or generated by experimental methods (e.g. X-ray crystallography, NMR,...) of by computatioanl chemistry (e.g. molecular mechanics, quantum-mechanics,...) Who uses Ball & Stick? People working in "molecular sciences" who want to publish graphical representations of molecular models (click for examples). What sets off B&S from other products in this area is the print quality achieved on moderately priced systems. Technically this is due to the fact that we use a vector graphics concept up to the last step of rendering, which is done by the selected driver (display or printer). IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT - Ball & Stick available for free Due to the fact that the future of Pascal compilers for MacOS X is unclear, we freeze the development of the popular molecular graphics program Ball & Stick (aka B&S) as of December 2000. As a service to the Mac community in molecular sciences the current versions (3.7.6 and 3.8b3) will be made available for free (by download) but we retain all rights to the software.
