Abstract: The front cover artwork for issue 3/2018 is a collaboration between three groups of Leipzig University and the Leibniz Institute of Surface Modification e.V., Leipzig (B. Abel). The university groups of A. Beck‐Sickinger and A. Robitzki are from the Institute of Biochemistry and N. Sträter is a member of the Institute of Bioanalytical Chemistry. The image displays the immobilization of cytochrome P450 BM3 on metal oxides mediated by a binding peptide, which enables the energization of the enzyme with electric potential to facilitate electrocatalysis on different substrates.

The Inside Back Cover picture shows palladium‐catalyzed derivatisations of halogenated phenylalanine and tryptophan and dipeptide substrates containing these entities in view of the optimization of lead peptide ligands for improved receptor interactions. A wide scope of substrates is presented to highlight the tolerated peptide functionality during the application of the Suzuki‐Miyaura reaction in aqueous media. In their Full Paper, T. Willemse et al. investigate the influence of unprotected peptide functionalities on the progress of the Pd‐catalyzed reaction. In the background, the collaboration between the Maes and Ballet laboratories is emphasized by the skylines of Antwerp and Brussels. The article highlighted by this cover can be found on p. 2055 ff. of Issue 14, 2015. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
