A spiral staircase follows the many helical structures in nature. J.‐I. Hong, H.‐J. Kim, J. Chin, and co‐workers describe how amino acids induce helicity with hydrogen bonding into a 2,2′‐dihydroxybenzophenone derivative in their Communication on page 8657 ff. Signaling groups can be added to allow the receptors to sense amino acid enantiopurity.
