Summary:The Front Cover illustrates a sustainable biosynthesis route to nylon monomers by using bio‐based substrate dicarboxylic acids. Four distinct enzymes are shown as gears meshing together, symbolizing synergy in catalyzing the synthesis of nylon monomers ω‐amino fatty acids and α,ω‐diamines. A red vehicle symbolizes the thermodynamically driven multi‐enzymatic cascade reaction we designed. The sustainable multi‐enzyme cascade reaction provides a promising alternative for the effective production of nylon in an environmentally friendly manner.
