Abstract

Correction for ‘Exploring the effect of substituent in the hydrazone ligand of a family of μ-oxidodivanadium(V) hydrazone complexes on structure, DNA binding and anticancer activity’ by Debashis Patra et al., Dalton Trans., 2017, 46, 16276–16293, https://doi.org/10.1039/C7DT03585C.


The authors regret they did not disclose that Fig. 14 was made of two separate gels, and that they did not include the DNA ladder for the last lane (F).

Fig. 14 should have been as shown here.

Fig. 14 DNA fragmentation assay for analysis of apoptosis showing DNA ladder in SiHa cells, treated with complexes 1 and 2 for 24 h. DNA was isolated from the treated and untreated sets and run in 2% agarose gel. A, control; B, [VIVO(aa)2]; C, complex 1; D, complex 2; E, marker; F, [VIVO(ba)2].

An independent expert has viewed the raw data and concluded that they are consistent with the discussions and conclusions presented.

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