DNA rendering
DINO renders nucleic acid structures in hsc mode with a schematic approximation of the sugar and the base. The connecting tube passes through the C3' of the sugar unit. For all other rendering modes (simple, custom, sline and tube) the backbone passes through the phosphates.
The coloring in hsc mode can be set with four properties: color changes the overall color. color1 the backbone, color2 the sugar and color3 the base.
