13. Three different conformations of DNA/actinomycin D complexes are described in reference [6]; the depsipeptide rings adapt themselves to the appropriate "size" of the minor groove of the DNA.

22. [23] All non-hydrogen atoms could be refined anisotropically. The hydrogen atoms were placed in geometrically ideal positions and refined with a riding model, in which the methyl groups (except those of solvent molecules) could rotate about their local threefold axes. All disorders could be resolved and refined anisotropically with the help of distance and ADP restraints. The crystallographic data of the structures described in this publication have been deposited with the Protein Data Bank (PDB), Brookhaven National Laboratory, under the codes 1A7Y und 1A7Z.

28. The distances between the threonine nitrogen atoms and N10 (2.88 Å in A, 2.94 Å in B) are in the range for hydrogen bonds, but this is not true of the N(Thr)-H(Thr) ⋯ N10 angles.
29. The corresponding torsion angles H-N(Thr)-C(Thr)-H lie in the range of 146.6 ° to 155.2 ° in all five molecules.
