Can someone help point out where the chiral centre to these molecules are? I can see 2 for doxorubicin but am told there are more.

Look at the branching carbon atoms in the other rings. Are there any of them with 4 different things attached? Like wise, in the other one, where are there 4 different things attached to something?
