title: X-ray crystallography of DNA-drug complexes.
abstract: Here we have stressed important differences between protein and DNA crystallography. Crystal growth and data collection methodologies are not directly transferable between the two subfields. In addition, we note that analysis of symmetry and packing of DNA crystals can be useful and a uniquely aesthetic exercise.
