The structures show the expected Hoogsteen pairing for the base pairs flanking the intercalating chromophores on the outside and Watson-Crick pairing for both base pairs enclosed by the echinomycin. In the octamer complexes but not the hexamer complex, the echinomycin molecule, which would possess a molecular twofold axis were it not for the thioacetal bridge, shows twofold disorder. In all the structures the stacking of the base pairs and chromophores is extended by intermolecular stacking. The structures provide more precise details of the hydrogen bonding and other interactions between the bis-intercalating antibiotics and the duplex DNA than were previously available.
