If you reached this conclusion by looking at the PDB web site, you should note that the site explains these numbers are taken from SCOP.

So you would have to look elsewhere for new folds deposited since mid-2007. > this mean the > present 1283 fold are the final or > should I wait, if so , with what criteria do I expect for a new fold..or > what are the expectations ... > > If we have solved 56066 structures till now with 1283 folds already known, > Does it mean we have gained some rationality in defining new folds(at least > a clue) ? > > S.Jayashankar > Research Student > Institute for Biophysical Chemistry > Hannover Medical School > Germany. > -- Ethan A Merritt Biomolecular Structure Center University of Washington, Seattle 98195-7742
