The CYS file extension characterises files that have been created with software and applications involving crystallography and encryption. The nature of the files and the methods to access them can vary based on the software used. The major categories of usage of the CYS file are in Crystallography and for the InfoLock encrypted files. Here are different ways to handle files with CYS extensions.

Crystallography Files with CYS Extension

In the scientific world, CYS files are created by numerous computer applications used in Structural Biology and in particular Crystallography. These files represent the three-dimensional structures of molecules, especially proteins and nucleic acids. To open and utilize such files, specialized software like CCP4 and PyMOL are required.

InfoLock Encrypted Files with CYS Extension

InfoLock, a privacy and security software, uses the CYS extension for the files it encrypts. Thus, a file with a CYS extension may also be an encrypted file which can only be accessed and used with the right decryption key and the InfoLock software itself.
