The back cover picture shows a new isopeptide protein assembly technology that allows proteins to be captured with an iron grip. SpyTag/SpyCatcher, isopeptag/pilin‐C and isopeptag‐N/pilin‐N allow proteins to be assembled like building blocks via genetically programmable and irreversible covalent bonds. More details can be found in the Concept by B. Zakeri on page 2277 in Issue 16, 2015 (DOI: 10.1002/cbic.201500372).
