Ball and Stick uses the bs file extension for files containing molecular model data. These files represent atoms and the bonds between them so that chemical structures and biomolecules can be viewed as three-dimensional models.
Ball-and-stick models are one type of spatial molecular model. The software may also display structures as space-filling models, also known as calotte models, which show the relative occupied space of atoms.
Open a bs file with the Ball and Stick chemical modeller. Use the application's Open command and select the file; renaming the extension is not a substitute for opening it in compatible software.
If the application provides an export function, use it to save the molecular model in one of its supported output formats.
