-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Dear Evette,
the PDB lists the citation when you enter the PDB-ID in the search mask of any of the web-interfaces, which is much easier for the reader than typing the information from the list of references, i.e. all information is in the article by mentioning the PDB-ID. Why do you consider it a matter of courtesy to re-cite the structural work?
