Per-structure estimates of novel leverage. The left panel (a) demonstrates how the non-cumulative (annual) novel leverage for UniProt 12.8 per deposited structure decreases over time because the task of generating high novel leverage becomes increasingly difficult. The right panel (b) reports the relative annual coverage per deposited structure (Q, Eq. 3). Values Q below 1 mark contributions below the average over the entire PDB in the year. While the relative values given in Fig. 1 vary little with the particular threshold for what is considered to be a “useful model”, the absolute values given in Fig. 2 and Fig. 3 depend crucially on the values chosen for what is considered to be an acceptable model. Coloring as in Fig. 1: pink with open circle: PSI alone; blue with open squares: structures from US labs excluding structures claimed by PSI; red with filled triangle: SG structures from non-PSI efforts; green with filled diamonds: structures from outside the US not claimed by any SG consortium
