Form and substance : Through observation and careful follow‐up on polymorphic forms of thyroxine (Forms I und II; black C, gray H, violet I, blue N, red O), Mondal and Mugesh have provided a stunningly simple answer to the apparent non‐equivalence of thyroid hormone tablets. Their results further suggest control of deiodinase regioselectivity through the adjustment of torsional angles distant from the reactive bond.
