PDB Growth in New Folds

Proportion of "new folds" (blue) and "old folds" (red) for a given year as a number of protein chain based on the CE algorithm.

Proportion of "new folds" to all chains for a given year based on the CE algorithm.

Note: A chain fold was considered old if it was similar to one of selected chains representing new folds according to the following criteria: z-score >= 4.0, RMSD < 3.0Å, number of aligned positions >= 70% of the length of this chain. Otherwise the chain fold was considered new.

These graphs are based on PDB contents up to 16-July-1999.
