Canyou attempt building models of biomolecules using commerciallyavailable atomic models (Ball and Stick models).
Balland stick models are 3-Dmolecular models that can be used to describe the structure ofbiomolecules.
Inball and stick model, the atoms are represented as balls whereas thebonds that hold the atoms are represented by the sticks. Double andtriple bonds are represented by springs that form curved connectionsbetween the balls. The size and colour of various atoms are differentand are depicted by the relative size of the balls.
Itis the most fundamental and common model of representing biomolecularstructures.
Inthe above ball and stick model of D-glucose, the oxygen atoms arerepresented by red balls,hydrogen atoms by blue balls, while carbon atoms are represented bygrey balls.
