It provides an extensive set +of data structures as well as classes for Molecular Mechanics, advanced +solvation methods, comparison and analysis of protein structures, file +import/export, and visualization . + +BALL has been carefully designed to be robust, easy to use, and open to +extensions. Especially its extensibility which results from an object-oriented +and generic programming approach distinguishes it from other software packages. +BALL is well suited to serve as a public repository for reliable data +structures and algorithms. + +Based on BALL we have developed a stand-alone tool for molecular visualization, +BALLView .
