Abstract:
Invited for this month's cover is the collaboration between Prof. Dr. Frank Seela at Osnabrück University and Center for Nanotechnology in Münster, Germany, Dr. Hang Zhao, former postdoctoral fellow in Prof. Seela's group and now Associate Professor at Sichuan University, P. R. China, and Dr. Andreas Schäfer at Nanoanalytics GmbH, Münster, Germany. The cover picture shows an isoguanosine hydrogel formed by nucleoside self-assembly that consists of interconnected helical fibers. Read the full text of the article at 10.1002/cplu.201600586.
