Derivatives and the Role of the Drinfel'd Twist in Noncommutative String   Theory
  We consider the derivatives which appear in the context of noncommutative string theory. First, we identify the correct derivations to use when the underlying structure of the theory is a quasitriangular Hopf algebra. Then we show that this is a specific case of a more general structure utilising the Drinfel'd twist. We go on to present reasons as to why we feel that the low-energy effective action, when written in terms of the original commuting coordinates, should explicitly exhibit this twisting.
