First, the G-C pairs: <scene name='Sandbox1234/Dg-c/1'>dG-C</scene> are in blue and dC-G are in yellow. Similarly, we can see the dA-U in red and the dT-A in purple (note that the RNA has U nucleotides instead of T). Furthermore, we can also see the purine and pyrimidine for a more general view of the bases. Because this is the B form of DNA:RNA interaction, all hydrogen bonds between the bases are through the Watson Crick faces. If we choose to see the ions, as we'd expect, the whole complex shines. | <scene name='Sandbox1234/Dna/1'>DNA</scene> in orange and this is the <scene name='Sandbox1234/Rna/1'>RNA</scene> in green.
