Problemas con la entrada de caracteres usando scanf ()

Estoy tratando de ingresar un carácter en una lista enlazada, donde el carácter puede ser 'A', 'a', 'G', 'g', 'T', 't', 'C' o 'c'.

Todavía no estoy familiarizado con C y sé que he jodido algo aquí:

do{
  printf ("\nEnter a new nucleotide: \n");
  scanf("%c",&newChar);
          /* Checking */
  if(newChar == 'A' ||
     newChar == 'a' || 
     newChar == 'G' || 
     newChar == 'g' || 
     newChar == 'T' || 
     newChar == 't' || 
     newChar == 'C' || 
     newChar == 'c' )
  {
    AddToSequence(newChar);
    size++;
  } else {
    printf ("\nBad Element");
  }
}while(newChar != 'x');

newChar se inicializa con un valor no deseado, en este caso 'q'.

Al ingresar 'x' se sale del bucle, al ingresar cualquier valor aceptable se llama AddToSequence (), y cualquier valor inaceptable recibe una advertencia.

Por alguna razón, sin importar qué valor tenga newChar, saltará a la otra parte. También saltará directamente a través del scanf sin esperar la entrada del usuario y hará dos bucles cada vez que realice un bucle. ¿Alguien puede decirme a dónde me voy mal?

Programa completo:

#include<stdio.h>
#include<stdlib.h>

/*Structure declaration for the node*/
struct node{
   char nucleotide;
   struct node *point;
}*start;

/* Adds a nucleotide to the chain. Creates a new linked list if no chain exists exists.*/
void AddToSequence(char nucleotide){
  struct node *loc, *first;
  //Dynamic memory is been allocated for a node
  first=(struct node*)malloc(sizeof(struct node));
  first->nucleotide=nucleotide;
  first->point=NULL;
  if(start==NULL){
    /*If list is empty*/
    start=first;
  }else{
    /*Element inserted at the end*/
    loc=start;
    while(loc->point!=NULL){
      loc=loc->point;
      loc->point=first;
    }
  }
}

/* Display elements */
void Display(){
  struct node *loc;
  if(start == NULL){
    printf ("\n\nList is empty");
    return;
  }
  loc=start;
  printf("\n\nList is : ");
  while(loc!=NULL){
    printf ("%c", loc->nucleotide);
    loc=loc->point;
  }
  printf ("\n");
}

/* Finds and displays percentage of the chain made up of each nucleotide. */
void Percentage(int size){
  struct node *loc;
  if(start == NULL){
    printf ("\n\nList is empty");
    return;
  }
  loc=start;
  printf("\n\nList is : ");
  int A = 0, G =0, T =0, C = 0;
  double Adouble = 0, Gdouble =0, Tdouble=0, Cdouble=0;
  while(loc!=NULL){
    if(loc->nucleotide=='A' || 'a'){A++;}
    if(loc->nucleotide=='G' || 'g'){G++;}
    if(loc->nucleotide=='T' || 't'){T++;}
    if(loc->nucleotide=='C' || 'c'){C++;}    
    loc=loc->point;   
  }
  printf ("\n"); 

  /* Convert to double for percentages as int loses precision */
  Adouble =A;
  Gdouble =G;
  Tdouble =T;
  Cdouble =C; 
  Adouble =(Adouble/size)*100;
  Gdouble =(Gdouble/size)*100;
  Tdouble =(Tdouble/size)*100;
  Cdouble =(Cdouble/size)*100; 
  printf("\nA: %f", Adouble);
  printf("\nG: %f", Gdouble);
  printf("\nT: %f", Tdouble);
  printf("\nC: %f", Cdouble); 
}

/* There be dragons beyond here */
int main(){
  int navigate, size =0;
  char newChar = 'q';
  do{ /* Menu */
    printf("\n 1. Create / Extend Sequence\n");
    printf("\n 2. Display Sequence\n");
    printf("\n 3. Count \n");
    printf("\n 0. Exit \n");
    printf("\nPlease select an option (0 to 3)\n");
    scanf("%d",&navigate);  
    switch (navigate){
      case 0: /* Exit */
        break;
      case 1: /* Add nucleotides */
        do{
          printf ("\nEnter a new nucleotide: \n");
          scanf("%c",&newChar);
          /* Some error checking */
          if(newChar == 'A' || newChar == 'a' || newChar == 'G' || newChar == 'g' || newChar == 'T' || newChar == 't' || newChar == 'C' || newChar == 'c' ){
            AddToSequence(newChar);
            size++;
          } else {
            printf ("\nBad Element");
          }
        }while(newChar != 'x');
        break;
      case 2:
        Display();
        break;
      case 3:
        Percentage(size);
        break;
      default:
        printf ("\n\nBad choice. Please select another.\n");
    }
  } while (navigate !=0); 
  return 0 ;
