Error in Table
In the original publication [1], there was a mistake in Table 1 as published.
The correct sequence order from the N to C terminal is as follows and should be reflected in Table 1.
NH2-HPSGKKK-CONH2;
NH2-HPSGRRR-CONH2;
NH2-CHPSGKKKC-CONH2;
NH2-CHPSGRRRC-CONH2;
NH2-CIVIRFKFRC-CONH2.
The corrected Table 1 appears below.
Table 1.
Synthesized peptides and their key parameters.
| Sample | Peptide Sequences | Theoretical MW (g/mol) | Experimental MW (g/mol) | Net Charge | % ACN Elution |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| mCA4-1 | HPSGKKK | 779.5 | 779.5 | +3 | - |
| mCA4-2 | HPSGRRR | 863.5 | 863.5 | +3 | - |
| mCA4-3 | CHPSGKKKC | 985.5 | 985.5 | +3 | - |
| mCA4-4 | CHPSGRRRC | 1069.5 | 1069.5 | +3 | - |
| mCA4-5 | CIVIRFKFRC | 1282.7 | 1281.7 | +3 | 23% |
The authors state that the scientific conclusions are unaffected. This correction was approved by the Academic Editor. The original publication has also been updated.
