The original version of this Article contained an error in the introduction, which incorrectly stated ‘Quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics (QM/MM) simulations of this enzyme do indicate participation of Glu303 in the mechanism, but the covalent-like interaction is highly transitory, lasting only for only a few picoseconds8 and mutation of this residue to cysteine or aspartate only slightly slows the reaction9.’ The correct version states ‘Quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics (QM/MM) metadynamics analysis of a bovine GT-6’s mechanism predicts that, while the substrates are organized very similarly to other retaining GTs, the donor saccharide forms an intermediate glutamate-galactose covalent adduct prior to transfer to the acceptor8; however, in later experiments on human GT-6, mutation of Glu303 to cysteine or aspartate was found to only slightly slow the reaction9.’

This has been corrected in both the PDF and HTML versions of the Article.
