Searching protein structure databases has come of age
Abstract
The number of protein structures known in atomic detail has increased from one in 1960 (Kendrew, J. C., Strandberg, B. E., Hart, R. G., Davies, D. R., Phillips, D. C., Shore, V. C. Nature (London) 185:422–427, 1960) to more than 1000 in 1994. The rate at which new structures are being published exceeds one a day as a result of recent advances in protein engineering, crystallography, and spectroscopy. More and more frequently, a newly determined structure is similar in fold to a known one, even when no sequence similarity is detectable. A new generation of computer algorithms has now been developed that allows routine comparison of a protein structure with the database of all known structures. Such structure database searches are already used daily and they are beginning to rival sequence database searches as a tool for discovering biologically interesting relationships. © 1994 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
