Cover: Helical poly(3‐methyl‐4‐vinylpyridine)(P3M4VP)/amino acid complexes have been prepared via acid‐base interaction of the achiral polymer with D and L amino acids. Formation of the helical structures was quite rapid and within a few minutes of the complexation process, well developed CD spectra were observed. Furthermore the complexes are compatible with HeLa cells, they minimally interfere with the adhesion and growth of HeLa cells on complex surfaces. Further details can be found in the Full Paper by B. Sannigrahi, P. McGeady, and I. M. Khan * on page 999.
