Abstract

The front cover artwork is provided by Prof. Yunfei Chen's group at the Southeast University. The image shows collective vibrational motions of alpha-helices inside a protein. Studying the vibrations allows connecting protein structure and function, and therefore benefits de novo protein design. Read the full text of the Research Article at 10.1002/cphc.202200082.
