The author regrets that the sign in (8) and some terms in (11) of the paper cited above were missing. Corrections to these errors are given as follows:As a coarse-grained continuum model, DNA can be regarded an elastic thin rod. The central axis of rod is a spatial curve R(s, t): R 2 → R 3 parameterized by arc length s and time t. At a point P on the curve R(s, t), the Frenet frameP -NBT and a local orthonormal basis P -xyz are simultaneously set. In P -NBT, the positive direction of the principal normal PN points toward the concave side of the curve R(s, t); whereas in P -xyz, the x-axis and y-axis are the two principal inertia axes of the cross section through the point P . The angle between the principal normal PN and x-axis (or the binormal PB and y-axis) is called the twisting angle, denoted by χ . On the interfacial surface between the rod and solution, the Young-Laplace equation readswhere R and r are two principal curvature radii in which r is the radius of the rod crosssection, p 0 is a constant pressure applied on the interfacial surface by the solution and p is the pressure on the interfacial surface by the rod. In (R1), we have reckoned a principal curvature radius as positive if it is drawn into the interior of the rod.The online version of the original article can be found at http://dx
