What is ss file?
File type category:
Source code and script file
Date updated: December 31, 2024
The ss file extension is associated with Scheme, a functional programming language and one of the two main dialects of the programming language Lisp, that first appeared in 1975.
Scheme is often used in computer science curricula and programming language research, due to its ability to represent many programming abstractions with its simple primitives. It is also an ideal test bed for compilation and interpretation techniques since it is possible to write a simple, yet fully standards-compliant Scheme interpreter in just a few days.
Scheme is a dialect of Lisp that stresses conceptual elegance and simplicity. It is much smaller than Common Lisp; the language specification is about 50 pages, compared to Common Lisp's 1300 page draft standard.
Advocates of Scheme often find it amusing that the entire Scheme standard is shorter than the index to Guy Steele's "Common Lisp: the Language, 2nd Edition".
Unlike the Scheme standard, the Common Lisp standard has a large library of utility functions, a standard object-oriented programming facility (CLOS), and a sophisticated condition handling system.
The ss file contains source code written in Scheme programming language.

Biochemistry data
File type category:
Various data file
Date updated: April 18, 2019
The ss file extension is also by some highly specialized biochemistry programs.
The ss file contains protein data used by program called Ribbons. These files contain secondary structures that are not required, but is recommended. These files are the most complicated. They control both the coloring and the overall shape of the ribbon. These files should be generated automatically by 'pro-ss', then edited or modified to the desired effect.
The ss file consists of a 1-line title, a 1-line header, and one line of data for each residue. The 1-line header consists of blank-separated strings --- the ss-residue-key strings (currently a maximum of 20).
The ss file extension is also used for sample sheet in dnaLIMS 377, also a scientific software. The same suffix is probably coincidence.
How to open ss file?
Use Ribbons to open *.ss files.
How to convert ss file?
Probably can be exported to other formats.
