If you were born before the Dutch lost their first World Cup final, you may remember the days when everybody knew that PDB entry 1tim was the structure of chicken triosephosphate isomerase, 1hhb was human haemoglobin, 1lyz was hen egg-white lysozyme, etc. Unfortunately, life for a structural

http://pdbe.org/pdbprints Good idea. But the icons for published/unpublished, protein present/protein absent, nucleotide present/nucleotide absent and ligand present/ligand absent look identical to me - I have to read the alt text. Is there some colour thing going on here
