Maybe icons which are crossed out might be a better solution for the negative
ones.

The problem with this is that "X-RAY" crossed out suggests "no X-rays", i.e. a non X-ray experiment, not an X-ray experiment for which the structure factors are unavailable. A diagonal crossing out would be fine to negate the "protein", "DNA/RNA", "heterogen" and "published" icons though.

I agree with the reservations about the use of the background that Frances has expressed, and think that it would be good to use different shapes for positive/negative icons if possible. Maybe for the experimental technique, a thick underlining or an outline font could be used to distinguish between data present or absent.

Apart from this PDBprints is excellent IMO. I find it very useful when scanning down a list of search results.
