Table 1 Status of near-complete structural proteomes as of 22 February 2005. How many proteins may be assigned folds in near-complete proteomes? The status for five near-complete prokaryotes are shown. E. coli, a well-studied bacteria that is not considered a minimal organism, is included for comparison.
