Correction to “Functionalizable Organic Nanochannels Based on Lipid Nanotubes: Encapsulation and Nanofluidic Behavior of Biomacromolecules”

Portions of Figures 6 and S10 are being corrected. Figure 6. (e) Carboxylate-nanotube self-assembled from 2, encapsulating Dps in the hollow cylinder. Figure S10. (c) TEM images of the N-nanotubes negatively stained by phosphotungstate. Figure 6(e) incorrectly listed inner diameter (i.d.) values for the transmission electron microscopy (TEM) image of the carboxylate nanotubes encapsulating Dps due to erroneous calculation of the scales. Three of those four i.d. values were approximately 0.95–1.18× the actual values. The corrected Figure 6 is reproduced here: The correction of the i.d. values will not negate the fact that the average i.d. value of the carboxylate nanotubes is 20 nm. Therefore, the following sentence regarding the i.d. of the carboxylate nanotubes remains unchanged: page 3558, left column, line 14, “The former nanotubes have approximately 20 nm inner diameters, giving distinct inner and outer surfaces covered with negatively charged carboxylate and nonionic glucose headgroups, respectively.” Figure S10c included incorrect scale bars in the TEM images of the N-nanotubes. The scale bars in the left, central, and right TEM images were approximately 1.78×, 1.28×, and 1.12× longer respectively than reality. The corrected Figure S10 is reproduced here: In contrast, we already estimated the inner diameter and the membrane thickness of the N-nanotubes using the correct scale bar. Therefore, the following sentence regarding those sizes of the N-nanotubes remains unchanged: page 3559, right column, line 2, “Atomic force microscopy, laser scan microscopy, and TEM observations revealed that most of the helical coils are converted into the N-nanotubes with 20 nm in inner diameters and 6 nm in thickness (see the Supporting Information).” These corrections do not alter the main findings of the paper.
