Corrigendum to: Computational Modeling of Environmental Co-exposure on Oil-Derived Hydrocarbon Overload by Using Substrate-Specific Transport Protein (TodX) with Graphene Nanostructures

Due to an oversight of the publisher, Page no 2310 was missing in the published paper and page no 2311 repeated twice in the article entitled “Computational Modeling of Environmental Co-exposure on Oil-Derived Hydrocarbon Overload by Using Substrate-Specific Transport Protein (TodX) with Graphene Nanostructures, 2020, 20(25), 2308-2325 [1]. The page no 2310 is added in the article and the repetition of page no 2311 is corrected. <p> The original article can be found online at https://doi.org/10.2174/1568026620666200820145412

Background: Bioremediation is a biotechnology field that uses living organisms to remove contaminants from soil and water; therefore, they could be used to treat oil spills from the environment. Methods: Herein, we present a new mechanistic approach combining Molecular Docking Simulation and Density Functional Theory to modeling the bioremediation-based nanointeractions of a heterogeneous mixture of oil-derived hydrocarbons by using pristine and oxidized graphene nanostructures and the substrate-specific transport protein (TodX) from Pseudomonas putida. Results: The theoretical evidences pointing that the binding interactions are mainly based on noncovalent bonds characteristic of physical adsorption mechanism mimicking the “Trojan-horse effect”. Conclusion: These results open new horizons to improve bioremediation strategies in over-saturation conditions against oil-spills and expanding the use of nanotechnologies in the context of environmental modeling health and safety.

Resistance To Infection

In the mouse, natural resistance to infection with unrelated intracellular parasites is controlled by the Bcg locus. With an positional cloning approach, a candidate gene for Bcg has been isolated. This gene encodes for a novel macrophage-specific transport protein, Nramp, which is altered in innately susceptible animals.
