Abstract

Invited for this month's cover are the collaborating groups of Dr. Margarita Suárez at Universidad de La Habana, Cuba, and Dr. Nazario Martín at Universidad Complutense de Madrid, Spain, together with groups at other institutions worldwide. The Front Cover shows a representation of the H₂ @C₆₀ hybrid molecule with a dehydroepiandrosterone moiety interacting with the active site of the SARS Cov-2.
