Ladder models can be generated for nucleic acids. Ribbon, trace and tube models can be generated for proteins.

Protein and nucleic acid information can now be loaded from PDB files.

New representation quick buttons are now available for modifying residue atoms and bonds, ribbon models and nucleic acid models in addition to non-residue atoms and bonds.

Right-click on objects and select the Format… menu item to show visual options for that object.
