This is to acknowledge that the slide shown on the front cover of this journal was kindly supplied by Prof. Michelle Prudhomme, UMR 6504, U.F.R. de Recherche Scientifique et Technique, Universite Blaise Pascal - C.N.R.S., 24, Avenue des Landais, 63177 Aubiere Cedex, France. The figure shows the minor groove of an energy-minimized model of the complex between an antitumor rebeccamycin analog and the hexanucleotide d(CGCGCG)₂. The molecular model illustrates the interaction of the planar indolocarbazole chromophore and the location of the carbohydrate in the minor groove of the double helix.
