The inside cover picture shows the crystal structure of the thioredoxin variant Trx1P, which contains cis ‐Pro76 as the only proline residue. On p. 1053 ff. , M. Rubini et al. explain how the tertiary structure dictates the cis conformation–there is endo puckering of the ring when Pro76 is replaced by either (4 R )‐ or (4 S )‐fluoroproline, although (4 R )‐fluoroproline disfavors this conformation.
