The Front Cover shows how the Cotton effect of the ligand field transitions in the CD spectra of the 4N Cu(II)−PrP(92–99) complex with G94 L A (blue) is reversed by the G94 D A substitution (red). Theoretical studies indicate that this is due to the geometric distortion from planarity that the complex suffers by the D‐stereoisomer substitution. The cover is decorated with artwork (by Naila Qureshi Quintanar – IG@nq.arts) of two axolotls that are mirror images of each other, as the CD spectra of the Cu−PrP complexes. Axolotls are endangered paedomorphic salamanders originally found in lakes surrounding Mexico City. More information can be found in the Full Paper by A. Vela, L. Quintanar and co‐workers.
