Figure 2.2: Three hyperlinked protein data banks. Illustrated is the size <strong>of</strong> three databanks, PDB,<br />

UniProtKB, and MEDLINE, along with their cross-references. For example, the PDB contains in total<br />

42,943 PDB identifiers (version November 2008) with cross-references to 42,085 out <strong>of</strong> 333,445 Uniprot<br />

identifiers, which in return points to 10,466 biomedical journal articles (PMIDs). Notice that PDB<br />

also holds for each record a small number <strong>of</strong> primary citations, however, these are mainly pointers to<br />

crystallographic publications and provide little hints <strong>of</strong> biological function <strong>of</strong> the protein or <strong>annotation</strong><br />

<strong>of</strong> <strong>functional</strong> <strong>sites</strong>.<br />
