Helical wrapping of C 60 ‐bound helical peptides by a syndiotactic poly(methyl methacrylate) (st‐PMMA) chain results in induction of a preferred handed helical conformation in the st‐PMMA backbone with the same handedness as the peptide. In their Communication on page 791 ff., E. Yashima and co‐workers report a novel approach to construct a unique supramolecular helix‐in‐helix structure through encapsulation of optically active helical peptides bearing the C 60 moiety at one end within the st‐PMMA cavity; the encapsulation results from a molecular carrier effect of the C 60 moiety.
