The cover was inspired by the molecular structure
of ferritin. In Analysis of Iron in Ferritin,
the Iron-Storage Protein, Donlin, Frey, Putnam, Proctor, and
Bashkin describe a general chemistry experiment in which students
explore both the iron-release process and the structure of this iron-storage
compound.
The structures used on the cover and in the article
were rendered by Regina Frey and Chris Clark using Swiss-PDB
Viewer and POV-Ray. Insight II was used to generate the original Cover designed by Betsy True.
Our Secondary School editors work hard to distill all the JCE materials to produce a fraction of particular interest to high school teachers. We call it CLIC.
In recent years we have worked hard to better match our advertisers with our readers. When shopping for chemistry education materials, visit our advertisers' WWW sites first.
Take JCE along on your outreach missions. Copies of the Journal, guest access to JCE Online, our publications catalog, and more are available for your particpants.
