Zhang,

Yes, you can visualize molecules in ball-and-stick representation in
ParaView (see attached). This representation is used whenever you load
a vtkMolecule data type. If you have a PDB file, for example, it will
be read in as a vtkMolecule data type and displayed with
ball-and-stick representation by default. You can also change the
Molecule "Render Mode" property to "Space Filling" or "Liquorice"
representation.

HTH,
Cory
