Correction to "Origin of Correlations between Local Conformational States of Consecutive Amino-Acid Residues and Their Role in Shaping Protein Structures and in Allostery".

Abstract

The authors regret that errors were made in the derivation of eq 3C, which also affect the final form of eq 6C but not that of eq 4. These errors do not change the conclusions of the paper, because the corrected eq 6C still expresses a multitorsional potential that is a product of cosines of virtual-bond dihedrals along a folded chain segment except that there are sines and not cosines of the first and the last dihedral, respectively, while cosines only appeared in the incorrect equation. Thus, the corrected expression still corresponds to directing the chain before and after a folded (in most cases a helical) chain segment.
