On the Cover

The protein azurin, color coded by the magnitude of the electronic propagation correlation function values linking the copper atom (blue sphere) and individual amino acids. Amino acids with slow and average decays are shown as blue ribbons and tubes, while amino acids with fast decays are shown as red, yellow, and green sticks.
