About the Cover:

The cover features a rendering of red blood cells. Superimposed on the cells is a molecular model of heme, an important catalytic group in some oxidative enzymes and the group that binds oxygen in hemoglobin. This is one of the molecules featured in this month's Viewpoints paper, "Bioorganic Chemistry: A Natural and Unnatural Science" by Ronald Breslow (pages 705-718).
