%X The conformation of the anti-cancer drug daunomycin  has been investigated in detail by potential-energy  calculations. The flexibility around the ether linkage,  connecting the anthracycline chromophore and the  amino sugar group, has been evaluated using several  types of potential-energy function. The results largely  support the hypothesis that the crystallographically  observed conformation is the most stable one, although  considerable detailed variation with respect to potential  function was found.
