==New Releases Cycle==
==New Releases Cycle==
The wwPDB releases new entries once per week. These can be seen by clicking on the most recent release date, shown at the upper right of the main page at [http://pdb.org].
The wwPDB releases new entries once per week. These can be seen by clicking on the most recent release date, shown at the upper right of the main page at [http://pdb.org]. In 2007, 7,280 new entries were released (an average of 140/week).


Many derivative databases '''copy, derive information from, or add value to''' the [[Atomic coordinate file | atomic coordinate files]] available from the wwPDB. Often, these automatically update their databases weekly, shortly after the new releases become available at the PDB. Proteopedia is one example.

==PDB Statistics==
At [http://pdb.org], at the upper right corner of the main page, click on ''PDB Statistics'' for a wealth of interesting information, including proteins solved by multiple experimental methods, sequence redundancy in the PDB, the distribution of resolutions, the 100 journals that have published the most new macromolecular structures, and graphs of the growth of the database (under ''Content Growth'').
