✦ Synopsis
We wish to alert the reader to errors that were inadvertantly published in our recent article. First, in the Abstract, we incorrectly state that our CD experiments included Ca (II) ion titrations of AP7-1 and AP24-1 synthetic polypeptides; these Ca (II) titrations were withheld from the final draft of the paper and are not included in the published report, but will appear elsewhere. Secondly, in our AP7-1 and AP24-1 calcite overgrowth experiments, we incorrectly reported the concentrations utilized in our study under the Materials and Methods section subheading, "Crystal Growth Analysis." The correct concentrations utilized for AP7-1, AP24-1 should read as 1.65 ϫ 10 Ϫ6 , 5.0 ϫ 10 Ϫ6 , 2.5 ϫ 10 Ϫ5 , 1.65 ϫ 10 Ϫ4 , and 8.5 ϫ 10 Ϫ4 M in that section. Similarly, under the same subheading, the correct concentrations for Poly-L-Asp and Poly-L-Glu polypeptide controls should read as 5 ϫ 10 Ϫ5 , 2.5 ϫ 10 Ϫ4 , 7.5 ϫ 10 Ϫ4 , 1.5 ϫ 10 Ϫ3 , and 2.3 ϫ 10 Ϫ3 M. Finally, in the legend to Figure , the concentrations presented for each polypeptide are incorrect; the correct figure legend is presented below.
