Structures of d(GCGAAGC) and d(GCGAAAGC) (tetragonal form): a switching of partners of the sheared G·A pairs to form a functional G·A×A·G crossing. Erratum

In the paper by Sunami et al. (2004), an asterisk was inadvertently missed out from the last sentence of §3.6 on p. 428. The corrected sentence should read as follows: In the base-stacked column, the ribose rings of the A_3.5 residues adopt a C3′-endo pucker to make space for accepting an A₄* base of the counter-strand between the A_3.5 and A₄ residues. Table 4 of this paper also contained an error and a corrected verison of the table is given below.
