Retraction Notice: “Design and Docking Studies of [Diethylenetriaminepentaacetic Acid–(Amino Acid)2] with Acetylcholine Receptor as a Molecular Imaging Agent for Single-Photon Emission Computed Tomographic Application”

At the request of Sage and the Journal Editor, the following article has been retracted:

Tiwari AK, Rathore VS, Sinha D, et al. Design and Docking Studies of [Diethylenetriaminepentaacetic Acid–(Amino Acid)2] with Acetylcholine Receptor as a Molecular Imaging Agent for Single-Photon Emission Computed Tomographic Application. Molecular Imaging. 2012;11(3). doi:10.2310/7290.2011.00044

Sage was made aware of a PubPeer post that highlights the following concerns:

 - Figure 9B appears to be similar to Figure 3 of another published paper ¹ by the same authors, representing different experimental conditions

Due to the outstanding concerns about the authenticity of this research, the Publisher and the Journal Editor retract this article.

The authors did not agree with the retraction and did not comment on the final notice.
