The Cover Feature shows the long filaments composed by tCsmA‐ZnPP complexes, which are able to harvest light and transfer energy to the acceptor methyl viologen. The light‐harvesting ability is attributed to the specific structure which forms a responsive matrix. ZnPP molecules (zinc protoporphyrin IX) are shown in yellow and the α‐helical ribbon is the tCsmA peptide, derived from the natural protein CsmA from the baseplate of the Chlorobaculum tepidum . A few methyl viologen molecules are shown around the filament to represent the acceptor that is abundantly present. More information can be found in the Article by Z. Sun et al. on page 630 in Issue 8, 2019 (DOI: 10.1002/cptc.201900063).
