Cover: The structure and properties of a cross- linked gelatinuous protein extracted from marine mussels are examined both before and after cross-linking with iron. Morphological and materials properties changes, such as stiffness, are brought about by partial and imperfect chemical cross-linking. Further details can be found in the article by E. Loizou, J. T. Weisser, A. Dundigalla, L. Porcar, G. Schmidt,* and J. J. Wilker* on 711.
