The shown representation is a DNA:RAN hybrid duplex. This is the
DNA in orange and this is the RNA in green. We can choose to see the base pairs, which show very neatly. First, the G-C pairs: dG-C 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.
