Retraction note to: Molecular and Cellular Biochemistry (2007) 304:155–165 https://doi.org/10.1007/s11010-007-9496-4


The Editors-in-Chief have retracted this article. After publication, concerns were raised regarding image irregularities in the Figures. Specifically,

  • In Fig. 5, lanes 2 and 7 appear to be highly similar.

  • There appear to be splice marks in Figs. 3b and 6.

The Editors-in-Chief therefore no longer have confidence in the presented data.

Subir Kumar Nagdas has not responded to any correspondence from the publisher about this retraction. The publisher has not been able to obtain current email addresses for Bhaswati Samanta, Kalipada Das and Parimal Chandra Sen.
