Cover illustration: Cover figure of the MILS series since Volume 11: RNA-protein interface of the Ile-tRNA synthetase complex held together by a string of Mg2+ ions, illustrating the importance of metal ions in both the protein and the nucleic acid world as well as connecting the two; hence, representing the role of Metal Ions in Life Sciences. tRNA synthetases are not only essential to life, but also serve as a target for novel classes of drugs making such RNA-protein complexes crucial also for the health sciences. The figure was prepared by Joachim Schnabl and Roland K. O. Sigel using the PDB coordinates 1FFY.
