This article belongs to the Special Issue Recent Advances in Protein Crystallography
The author wishes to make the following corrections to this paper [1]:
On page 161, lines 9–10, the sentence “The probability of fluorescence emission increases with atomic number and becomes greater than 10% for Z ≤ 18,” should be “The probability of fluorescence emission increases with atomic number and becomes greater than 10% for Z ≥ 18,”.
There is an error in Figure 1, “Primary photoelectron (12.4 keV - E1s-binding)” should say “Primary photoelectron (13.0 keV - E1s-binding)”. It should be corrected as follows:
Figure 1. The different primary X-ray scattering processes of an incident 13.0 keV beam with an example lysozyme crystal simulated using RADDOSE-3D. Elastic scattering (6.5% of the interacting beam): The X-ray photon is scattered, resulting in diffraction. Compton scattering (6.6% of the interacting beam): The photon loses part of its energy in an atomic electron, being scattered at a longer wavelength. A recoil electron may then be ejected from the atom. Photoelectric absorption (86.9% of the interacting beam): The photon transfers all its energy to an inner shell electron, which is ejected from the atom (photoelectron). The resulting orbital vacancy is filled by a higher shell electron, followed by either the fluorescence emission or ejection of a lower energy Auger electron. The X-ray source in the figure is Diamond Light Source beamline I03.
The authors would like to apologize for any inconvenience caused to the readers by these changes.
