Cover Picture: Biotechnology Journal 6/2010

Cover illustration: Biotech Methods and Advances. This issue of Biotechnology Journal covers methods for systems metabolic engineering as well as downstream processing. The cover image shows an artist's impression of a magnetic fusion protein consisting of antibody like particles (pale blue) and ferritin subunits (pale green) encapsulating an iron core (red). These “Magnetizable antibody-like proteins” are described by Dehal et al. pp. 596–605 (http://dx.doi.org/10.1002/biot.200900273). Art by Mark Bradshaw, Pixelweave 3D.
