Cover Gallery
The cover image depicts the first spectroscopic characterization of the metallothionein 2 from chickpeas, revealing its metal-binding ability for divalent metal ions and suggests the formation of a single metal-thiolate cluster. Image reproduced by permission of Eva Freisinger.

The cover design highlights three important aspects: garlic, which produces an important ligand component, allixin, an oxovandium(IV) complex which exhibits an anti-diabetic effect and a DNA molecule, whose expression will be controlled by the administration of the complex in diabetic animals.
