Stick model of the vancomycin molecule, C₆₆H₇₅Cl₂N_9OO₂₄, as found in the crystal structure of vancomycin acetate dichloride hydrate.

Note that in the actual crystal structure the two amino groups are protonated and the carboxyl group is deprotonated, whereas in this image these groups have been returned to their neutral states.
