The inside cover picture shows fragments of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), which has been widely used in industry and is also biodegradable. On p. 1882 ff. R.‐T. Guo, J. Chen, G. Du, and co‐workers show how, in oxidized PVA (OPA, shown in red), the CC bond of the β‐diketone unit can be cleaved by OPA hydrolase through a double‐oxyanion‐hole mechanism.
