In the version of the article initially published, in the “Selection of staple position” section of the Discussion, the sentence “Although many staple types exist, our suggestion is to limit the initial analogs to a single chemistry: olefin staples resulting from ring closing metathesis of (S)-2-(4’-pentenyl)alanine and (R)-2-(7’-octenyl)alanine at the i and i + 7 positions, respectively” should have read “Although many staple types exist, our suggestion is to limit the initial analogs to a single chemistry: olefin staples resulting from ring closing metathesis of (R)-2-(7’-octenyl)alanine and (S)-2-(4’-pentenyl)alanine at the i and i + 7 positions, respectively” and has now been corrected in the HTML and PDF versions of the article.
