A text search for "MIR" returns 1377 PDB structures overall. Of these 706 were deposited in the last 10 years, and 34 were deposited in the last 12 months. The most recent was released today (6 Jun 2012) HEADER HYDROLASE 17-APR-12 4EPC TITLE CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF AUTOLYSIN REPEAT DOMAINS FROM STAPHYLOCOCCUS REMARK 200 DIFFRACTION PROTOCOL: SINGLE WAVELENGTH REMARK 200 METHOD USED TO DETERMINE THE STRUCTURE: MIR REMARK 200 SOFTWARE USED: SOLVE REMARK 200 STARTING MODEL: NULL Caveats: I have no idea how many of those structures say "MIR" because it's part of the protein name or some such, I have no idea how accurate the REMARK 200 fields are in any case, and I don't really trust the www.pdb.org search interface in general. > When was the last time you saw a structure that was solved without the use > of anomalous signal or homology model?
