Cover Picture: Amyloid‐Inspired Optical Waveguides from Multicomponent Crystalline Microtubes (ChemNanoMat 8/2016)

The Front Cover illustrates a novel amyloid-inspired optical waveguide based on selective interaction of amyloid-specific fluorophores and Fmoc-4-NO2-Phe crystalline microtubes. Confinement of amyloid binding thioflavin-T (ThT) fluorophore to the interior of the Fmoc-4-NO2-Phe microtubes imparts optical waveguide properties, due to light transmission via internal reflectance within the core of the microtube. More information can be found in the Communication by B. L. Nilsson et al. on page 800 in Issue 8, 2016 (DOI: 10.1002/cnma.201600123).
