Figure 1
Incidences of SeMet use for phasing in the Protein Data Bank (PDB). (a) Pie chart showing the proportion of MAD-phased structures using SeMet (yellow) as a percentage of the total structures phased using MAD. (b) Proportion of SAD-phased structures using SeMet (yellow) as a percentage of the total SAD-phased structures. (c) Proportion of structural genomics (SGX) derived crystal structures solved using SeMet (yellow) as a percentage of the total number of SGX-derived crystal structures. (d) Total number of crystal structures deposited each year (green), with the number solved using SeMet shown in yellow. Numbers were correct at the end of 2008 for (a)–(c) and the end of 2007 for (d). |
