The frontispiece of the Communications section (middle) features a low‐cost and convenient approach to the colorimetric detection of HIV‐1 ribonuclease H activity using unmodified gold nanoparticles. The method is potentially useful for screening enzyme inhibitors in drug discovery. For more information, please read the Communication “Colorimetric Detection of HIV‐1 Ribonuclease H Activity by Gold Nanoparticles,” by X. Liu and co‐workers, beginning on page 1392 .
