On the front cover:
Andreea R. Schmitzer and coworkers present the first example of a benzimidazolium-based artificial transmembrane chloride transporter and a synthetic calcium ionophore that can regulate intracellular calcium concentrations in bacteria.

On the inside cover:
Noriho Kamiya and colleagues at Kyushu University assess how the spatial arrangement of the avidin–biotin interaction between protein building blocks affects the formation of a protein supramolecular complex.
