Evidence of falsification

"The University of Alabama at Birmingham has issued a statement indicating that a former UAB researcher may have fabricated or falsified data about protein structures that are contained in the Protein Data Bank.

The university did not include a name of the researcher, but the Birmingham News this week reported that the scientist is H.M. Krishna Murthy and an independent review by BioInform of the PDB shows that Murthy is associated with all of the proteins that UAB said were falsified.

The newspaper said that a probe of Murthy's research has been underway since 2007.

"After a thorough examination of the available data, which included a re-analysis of each structure alleged to have been fabricated, the committee found a preponderance of evidence that structures 1bef, 1cmw, 1df9/2qid, 1g40, 1g44, 1l6l, 2ou1, 1rid, 1y8e, 2a01, and 2hr0 were more likely than not falsified and/or fabricated and recommended that they be removed from the public record," the university said in its statement this week."
