On the cover of Issue 8 we have two cancer-related articles from Jacquelyn Gervay-Hague (University of California Davis) on multivalent single chain variable fragments with increased tumor-associated antigen affinity and from Federico Gago (Universidad de Alcalá) modelling the binding of mitomycin C and analogues to DNA.

The issue also contains a review from Jean-Louis Reymond and Tamis Darbre on combinatorial libraries of peptide and glycopeptide dendrimers and hot papers on creating (D)-sugars from (L)-amino acids from Paul Clarke and stilbazolium dimers as NET ligands from James N. Wilson.
