Front Cover : Unique telechelic‐type polypeptides were synthesized by the facile and environmentally benign enzymatic polymerization using a telechelic initiator. The telechelic polyalanine was found to assemble into long nanofibers by the antiparallel β‐sheet structure whereas the conventional linear polyalanine showed a granule‐like morphology. Further details can be found in the article by Kousuke Tsuchiya, Keiji Numata on page 1001.
