2. When showing a cartoon of DNA the ribose ring in the backbone is
always there no matter which setting you choose. How can I make the
phosphates and the ribose rings show as a backbone cartoon "tube" and
keep just the bases as filled sticks with rinngs?
load nuc_acid.pdb
as cartoon

Hello
You can look into 3DNA out of Rutgers
(http://rutchem.rutgers.edu/~xiangjun/3DNA/). To make the image you
describe you will also need to use Raster3D. 3DNA has some basic
scripts for this but you will need to write your own to get the image
you describe.
