Abstract

Correction for ‘Enzymatic amide bond formation: synthesis of aminooxo-acids through a Mycobacterium smegmatis acyltransferase’ by Michael S. Christodoulou et al., Green Chem., 2022, 24, 4432–4436, https://doi.org/10.1039/D2GC00655C.

We would like to modify the following statement in the footnotes to Tables 1 and 2: “No reaction was observed by adding the substrates in the same reaction conditions without the catalyst” with “<30% conversion was observed by adding the substrates in the same reaction conditions without the catalyst”.

This is based on the fact that recently, employing the reaction conditions described in our article (1 : 1 molar ratio of 1 M reagents, 10% DMSO in water/buffer medium), we have monitored the degree of non-enzymatic reactivity of the anhydrides included in the study, and particularly that of succinic anhydride (<30% conversion was observed).

The Royal Society of Chemistry apologises for these errors and any consequent inconvenience to authors and readers.
