Back Cover: The image depicts spherical glucosamine‐displaying brushes, which were synthesized via controlled radical polymerization (ATRP). These brushes possess a high binding affinity towards the lectin wheat germ agglutinin, which leads to the formation of large glycopolymer‐lectin clusters. Additionally, the high density of hydroxyl groups enables the implementation of gold nanoparticles into the particles, creating catalytically active nanocomposites. Further details can be found in the article by A. Pfaff, V. S. Shinde, Y. Lu, A. Wittemann, M. Ballauff, and A. H. E. Müller * on page 199 .
