Correction for Achuthan et al., Human Immunodeficiency Virus Reverse Transcriptase Displays Dramatically Higher Fidelity Using Physiological Magnesium Conditions In Vitro

Volume 88, no. 15, p. 8514–8527, 2014. Page 8516, Materials and Methods, “Mismatched primer extension assays,” last two lines of the paragraph: “dissociation constant (K_D) for dNTP and Mg²⁺ was assumed to be the same as that of ATP (K_D = 8.9 × 10⁻⁶ M)” should read “dissociation constant (K_D) for dNTP and Mg²⁺ was assumed to be the same as that of ATP (K_D = 89.1 × 10⁻⁶ M) (75).”

All calculations of free Mg²⁺ in the original article were made correctly using the K_D value of 89.1 × 10⁻⁶ M, but the value was incorrectly stated in the original article as 8.9 × 10⁻⁶ M due to a typographical error. Because the correct value was used in calculation, this did not affect the original data, data interpretation, and conclusions of this study.
