The cover picture shows the ideal structure of histidine‐rich (orange color) helical peptides immobilized onto a mercury surface. A molecular dynamics simulation was used to study the role of various factors on the structural changes and interactions of the immobilized peptides. This proposed approach can be useful for the interpretation of experimental data describing the interfacial behavior of peptides and small proteins at the mercury electrode surface. This study is dedicated to the memory of Professor Emil Paleček, whose scientific carrier was strongly and successfully focused on the application of mercury electrodes in biochemical research.
