The cover picture shows the ribosome 50S subunit on a fungal background. Represented fungi, Clitopilus scyphoides, produce antibiotics of the pleuromutilin family. Pleuromutilins „moving“ into the ribosome Peptidyl Binding Centre (PTC) are also shown. The figure was contributed by Anat Bashan and Ada Yonath (see The Proto‐Ribosome: An Ancient Nano‐machine for Peptide Bond Formation, Davidovich et al., p. 29 in this issue).
