Retraction note to: J. Struct. Chem., 2020, 61, 970-978. https://doi.org/10.1134/S0022476620060189
The Editor-in-Chief has retracted this article. After publication, concerns were raised regarding the use of apparently irrelevant references and highly similar images across a number of articles from different groups that were under consideration within a similar time frame. Specifically, the images presented in Fig. 3 are highly similar to Fig. 3 of Ma et al 2020 [1], Fig. 4c of Cui et al 2020 [2], and Fig. S5 of Jiang et al 2020 [3], among others. Additionally, the authors used MGC-803 cells, which are known to be partially contaminated with HeLa cells, and are therefore an unsuitable model for gastric cancer.
The authors have contacted the journal to request a retraction due to incorrectly cited references, but have not addressed the other issues. The Editor-in-Chief, therefore, no longer has confidence in the published data. The authors have not further responded to any correspondence from the editor or publisher regarding this retraction.
