Figure 17.2.3.4

CPK representation of the same DNA structure as in Fig. 17.2.3.3[link]. The model on the left uses highly tessellated spheres for the atoms, while the one on the right uses a coarser tessellation. The Gouraud shading model produces some lighting artifacts, such as the star-shaped highlights, which are most apparent on the right-hand figure. This is due to colour interpolation between the facet vertices.
