The Gompertz curve for estimating growth rates of Protein Data Bank and protein folds (opens in new tab)

The Protein Data Bank (PDB) is an ever-growing, open-access repository of structural data of biological molecules. This international database has been instrumental in the development of artificial intelligence and deep learning models for protein structure prediction and design. The PDB growth is a crucially important factor influencing further development of these models. Therefore, after analyzing the growth trend in PDB depositions since the archive's launch, we found that it is well fitt...
