Surface chirality is introduced, for the first time, into the research of protein/surface interactions by Taolei Sun and co‐workers on page 3276 . Comparing a pair of chiral polymer films based on L(D)‐amino acid units, the L film shows signifi cantly stronger interactions with proteins than the corresponding D film. Thermodynamic studies reveal a stereoselective mechanism dominated by hydrophobic interactions.
