Or should I say, pre-SCOP, the pre-release partial classification of the latest batch of proteins from the PDB. Here's the webpage: http://www.mrc-lmb.cam.ac.uk/agm/pre-scop/ This says that they're still classifying proteins deposited as recently as Oct 2008, which is a relief to me - I was worried that SCOP had been abandoned. To address the original question, here are some numbers: Folds in SCOP 1.71 (18 Jan 2005): 971 Folds in SCOP 1.73 (26 Sep 2007): 1086 Folds in pre-SCOP (Oct-ish 2008): 1392 We're not done finding new folds yet, folks... - Matt -- Matthew Franklin , Ph.D. Senior Scientist, ImClone Systems 180 Varick Street, 6th floor New York, NY 10014 phone:(917)606-4116 fax:(212)645-2054 Confidentiality Note: This e-mail, and any attachment to it, contains privileged and confidential information intended only for the use of the individual(s) or entity named on the e-mail.
