The compounds in ref. 8(a) (G. Polidoro, P. De Cicco, S. Di Luzio and G. Federici, Boll. Soc. Ital. Biol. Sper., 1979, 55, 2346) were incorrectly cited as Cys-SeSH and (Cys-Se)2 [Cys = (HO2C)(H2N)CHCH2], and the correct structures are H2NCH2CH2SeSH and (H2NCH2CH2Se)2, respectively. Thus, Cys-SeSH (compound 1, page 2810, line 18 of the left column and line 15 of the right column), (Cys-Se)2 (page 2810, line 13 of the right column), and "2-amino-3-propionyl (Cys) group" (page 2811, line 8 of the left column) should be read as H2NCH2CH2SeSH (compound 1), (H2NCH2CH2Se)2, and "2-aminoethyl group", respectively. Our results and conclusions are not changed by the correction.
