On the front cover (right) of this week’s issue is a paper on cylindrical peptide assemblies from Andrew D. Abell and colleagues from The University of Adelaide. Abell et al. present a new template-based approach to peptide based nanotubes using a ‘smart’ scaffold designed to be constrained into a β-strand geometry.
