In table 2 of the report "Free energy calculations by computersimulation" by P. A. Bash et al. (1 May, p. 564), two minussigns were omitted. The () for the transformation of thymineto cytosine and that for adenine to guanine should have been-5.24 ± 0.33 kcal/mol and -6.95 ± 0.54 kcal/mol, respectively.In the caption for figure 2, the structure designations forthe "additive" model and the real model of p-nitrophenol werereversed. The first two sentences of the caption should haveread, "Partial charges determined with the methods describedin (19) with the use of a 6-31G basis set for phenol (1), nitrobenzene(2), benzene (3), and p-nitrophenol (5). The partial chargesfor the additive model of p-nitrophenol (4) were determinedas follows...."
