A focus article by Ernest Giralt and co-workers opens the May issue on the uses of ion mobility coupled to mass spectrometry (IMMS) to gain structural and dynamic information for a wide variety of biomacromolecules.
Applications and future of ion mobility mass spectrometry in structural biology by Abraham López, Teresa Tarragó, Marta Vilaseca and Ernest Giralt New J. Chem., 2013, 37, 1283-1289 DOI: 10.1039/C3NJ41051J.
The outside front cover was produced by Qin Wei and co-workers on honeycomb-structured macroporous films of graphene nanocomposites prepared by the breath figure method at both an air/solid interface and an air/water interface.
Assembly of graphene nanocomposites into honeycomb-structured macroporous films with enhanced hydrophobicity by Hongmin Ma, Picheng Gao, Dawei Fan, Bin Du, Jingcheng Hao and Qin Wei New J. Chem., 2013, 37, 1307-1311 DOI: 10.1039/C2NJ41031A.
On the inside front cover, Philippe Karoyan and colleagues illustrate their research on the synthesis and study using CD and NMR in water and alcohols on homooligomers of substituted prolines and -prolines.
