CYANA is software for automated structure calculation of biological macromolecules. Its cya file extension identifies a macro script used by the program.
A cya file contains a sequence of CYANA commands, such as instructions used to control or automate structure calculations. It is intended to be interpreted by CYANA rather than opened as a standalone document.
CYANA is available for Microsoft Windows, and the file belongs to the software's scripting workflow.
Open a cya file in CYANA on Microsoft Windows to run or work with its macro commands. Because the file contains script text, it can also be viewed in a text editor, but a text editor will not execute the macro.
A cya file is a CYANA macro, so it has no standard document conversion. To use it with other software, edit or rewrite its commands manually for that software; preserve the file as text when it is intended for CYANA.
