From https://academic.oup.com/nar/article/47/D1/D520/5144142 in 2017 450 million structure data files were downloaded from the PDB FTP archive and unique PDB users (based on IP addresses) is estimated at >1 million. RCSB publications here https://www.rcsb.org/pages/publications where more details may be derived.

You might want to quote how many researchers use the PDB instead. Maybe an inquiry to the PDB could give you that statistic. That would give you a big number On Wed, May 29, 2019 at 1:54 PM Scott Horowitz <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: Hi all, I was recently asked how many biological crystallographers plus cryo-EM users there are in the world (in relation to how many people could therefore be theoretically impacted by Foldit electron density tools, for the purposes of grant funding). I'm a bit at a loss as to even what order of magnitude to provide. Any thoughts about how to estimate a number?
