About the cover
June 2000 Volume 2 No 6
Montage of images that together provide evidence that the 
-tubulin ring complex (TURC) forms a helical template for microtubule nucleation. These include: immunofluorescence images of microtubules (red) with ends labelled for TURC components (green); electron micrographs of microtubules (cyan), minus-end labelled with gold particles (yellow) conjugated to antibodies against TURC components (antibody 'shell' shown as red rings); and tomographic reconstruction of a purified Drosophila TURC (light green). [Cover design: Majo Xeridat] [article, p. 352, 358 and 365; news and views, p.E93].
