Erratum to “Exploring glycogen biosynthesis through Monte Carlo simulation”

The authors erroneously submitted a non-final draft of this paper which regrettably was published before this situation could be addressed. As a result, the original publication leaves several areas of concern identified during the peer review process unaddressed. The methodology used for calculating the jump distance (the distance between monomer units) was not explained. In all calculations related to distance, the distance was calculated as that between the two points under consideration in the cubic lattice, taking into consideration that the 26 different points have three different distances from the central point depending on their relative position to it. An explanation of the pair-distribution function P(r) as the probability of two units (electrons in the physical case) existing a given distance apart was omitted from the original publication. An explanation of the x-axis (R) range presented in Figure 6 of the original publication was omitted; the range of R shown is that over which good SEC data (which requires dual detection by differential refractometer and multiangle laser light scattering) can be obtained. A table (Table 1) summarizing the behaviors of the biosynthetic enzymes was omitted from the original publication. Figure 7 of the original publication did not include a comparison of the calculated data to experiment. This is rectified in Fig. 1, which is intended to serve as a replacement for Figure 7 of the original publication. We apologize to the readers for any inconvenience. Figure 8 of the original publication did not list the relevant units for each of the three quantities plotted in the figure. This is rectified in Fig. 2, which is intended to serve as a replacement for Figure 8 of the original publication
