The inside cover picture shows that the enzyme IspG in the deoxyxylulose phosphate pathway can mediate a reversible CO bond cleavage at an inert position. This hypothesis was supported by the detection of diphosphate ester bridging and terminal oxygen atom exchange. For more information, see the communication by P.‐h. Liu et al. on p. 527 ff.
