Abstract The front cover artwork is provided by Judit Šponer (Institute of Biophysics, Czech Academy of Sciences). The image shows that polymerization of H‐form 3’,5’ cyclic guanosine monophosphate (GMP) exhibits an oscillatory behavior when studying the reaction on longer time scales (of several days). Domains of the material, differing in the level of hydration, interlock like pieces of a puzzle, resulting in a complex chemical system working far from equilibrium.
