Description
Summary:Invited for the cover of this issue is the group of Mirosława Różycka and Andrzej Ożyhar at the Wroclaw University of Science and Technology, and colleagues at Jagiellonian University, the Polish Academy of Sciences, and Technion Israel Institute of Technology. The image depicts confocal laser scanning images showing the effect of the protein involved in the formation of otoliths on the calcium carbonate crystal lattice reported in the paper. Read the full text of the article at 10.1002/chem.201902157. “The intracrystalline incorporation of the protein results in shrinkage of the crystal lattice volume, that is here described for the first time in bioinspired mineralization.” Read more about the story behind the cover in the Cover Profile and about the research itself on page 12740 ff.
