Structure of Supramers Formed by the Amphiphile Biotin‐CMG‐DOPE

Abstract

The Front Cover shows how a biotin residue initially hidden in a monolayer formed on the surface of a material by biot‐CMG‐DOPE is pulled out of the layer by the streptavidin molecule that has come close to it. This can be considered as a model for the surface of a living cell: sometimes molecules are able to hide from undesirable interactions and yet leave the possibility to be recognized by high‐affinity proteins. The picture is inspired by the legendary Yellow Submarine cartoon. More information can be found in the https://doi.org/10.1002/open.201900267.
