title: In support of the original medermycin/lactoquinomycin A structure.
abstract: [structure: see text] Herein we report a significant body of spectroscopic data that supports the originally proposed structure of medermycin/lactoquinomycin A. In addition, we demonstrate that these data are inconsistent with the revised structure reported recently in the literature.
