Inside Back Cover: “Helix‐in‐Helix” Superstructure Formation through Encapsulation of Fullerene‐Bound Helical Peptides within a Helical Poly(methyl methacrylate) Cavity (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 3/2017)

Helical wrapping of C60‐bound helical peptides by a syndiotactic poly(methyl methacrylate) (st‐PMMA) chain results in induction of a preferred handed helical conformation in the st‐PMMA backbone with the same handedness as the peptide. In their Communication on page 791 ff., E. Yashima and co‐worker...

Summary:Helical wrapping of C60‐bound helical peptides by a syndiotactic poly(methyl methacrylate) (st‐PMMA) chain results in induction of a preferred handed helical conformation in the st‐PMMA backbone with the same handedness as the peptide. In their Communication on page 791 ff., E. Yashima and co‐workers report a novel approach to construct a unique supramolecular helix‐in‐helix structure through encapsulation of optically active helical peptides bearing the C60 moiety at one end within the st‐PMMA cavity; the encapsulation results from a molecular carrier effect of the C60 moiety.
