Error in Figures/Table
In the original publication [1], there were mistakes in Figures 8 and 9 and Table 2 as published. The mistake involves the use of “Non-structural protein 3 (NSP3)” instead of “novel SH2-containing protein 3 (NSP3)”. The corrected Figure 8 and Figure 9 and Table 2 appears below.

Text Correction
There were errors in the original publication. The mistake involves the use of “Non-structural protein 3 (NSP3)” instead of “novel SH2-containing protein 3 (NSP3)”.
A correction has been made to Abstract:
(1) Original: The multi-domain non-structural protein 3 (NSP3) is an oncogenic molecule that has been concomitantly implicated in the progression of coronavirus infection.
Revised: The novel SH2-containing protein 3 (NSP3) is an oncogenic molecule that has been concomitantly associated with T cell trafficking.
(2) Original: −4.3~−6.70 Ă
Revised: −3.5~−6.70 Ă
(3) Removed “However, S-allyl-cysteine interaction with NSP3 (SH2D3C) is unfavorable and hence less susceptible to NSP3 ligandability.”
A correction has been made to Result, Section 3.9:
Removed: However, S-allyl-cysteine interaction with NSP3 (SH2D3C) is unfavorable (Figure 8A) and hence the least ΔG (−4.30 Kcal/mol) and RF (−4.31 pKd) values, respectively.
A correction has been made to Discussion, the first Paragraph:
Removed: Notwithstanding, NSP3 was proposed to be a promising therapeutic target in both cancer and COVID-19.
A correction has been made to Introduction, the third Paragraph:
Original: Non-structural protein 3 (NSP3) is a multi-domain, multifunctional protein that is an essential component of the replication/transcription complex (RTC), responsible for the synthesis and processing of RNA, and interference with the innate immune system of host cells [20,21]. NSP3 has been implicated in cancer progression and metastasis [22,23]. It is a key component in coronavirus replication and has thus played a pivotal role in the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. It thus could be an attractive target for the development of therapeutic strategies for treating cancer and coronavirus infections [24].
Revised: The novel SH2-containing protein 3 (NSP3) is an oncogenic molecule that regulates T cell receptor signaling [20]. It acts as an adapter protein that mediates cell signaling pathways involved in cellular functions such as cell adhesion and migration, tissue organization, and the regulation of the immune response [20–22]. It thus could be an attractive target for the development of therapeutic strategies for treating cancer.
References
Remove References [20–23] from the original manuscript [1] and use References [2,3,4] as [20–22]. With this correction, the order of some references has been adjusted accordingly.
The authors state that the scientific conclusions are unaffected. This correction was approved by the Academic Editor. The original publication has also been updated.
