Abstract

The article reports on the investigation conducted by the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) regarding the validity of two research papers on the new way to identify drug targets in Daejeon, South Korea. Probe result shows that such papers do not contain any scientific truth and will likely be retracted by the publication in which it appeared "Science and Nature Chemical Biology." The study was conducted by Te Kook Kim, a renowned senior author who studied in the U.S. and founded a business establishment in the country. According to Gyun Min Lee, chairman of KAIST's Department of Biological Sciences and head of internal investigation committee, the results are strong enough to convince them that the two papers do not contain scientific truth.
