Abstract

Abstract: The front cover artwork is provided by the groups of Prof. K. Yoshikawa (Doshisha Univ.), Prof. T. Higuchi (Nagoya City Univ.), Prof. S. Fujiwara (Kwasei‐Gakuin Univ.) and Prof. T. Imanaka (Ritsumeikan Univ.). The image shows that at 80°C, multiple nano‐loops are generated along a strand of large DNA in the presence of a branched‐chain polyamine found in a hyperthermophilic archaeon living near the boiling point of water.

With increasing temperature (up to 80°C), multiple nano‐loops are generated…" This and more about the story behind the front cover can be found in the Article at10.1002/cphc.201800396 .
