Nature: Article describes unsuccessful efforts to replicate results of controversial paper

A story on Nature.com describes the retraction of two major scientific papers from the journals Science and the Journal of Molecular Biology as the result of work done by John P. Richard, professor, Tina Amyes, research associate, and Astrid Koudelka, technician, all in the UB Department of Chemistry. The story describes how the two original papers were withdrawn by Duke University biochemist Homme Hellinga when the UB team found it could not replicate the published results.
