On the cover: Specific contacts between distant regions of a protein sequence are responsible for enhancing the secondary structure of the interacting residues. The collapse-dependent increase in helicity of acid-unfolded apomyoglobin results from the random meanderings of the snakelike chains occasionally colliding and coalescing into a primordial structure. These events are captured by the snake charmer via the special flute, able to generate information-rich NMR free induction. Artwork created by Daria V. Fedyukina. See the article by Fedyukina et al. for more details.
