In various talks and lectures, I have several times heard the
	quote that roughly 70% of all known proteins are metalloproteins
	(ie. have specific metal binding sites).

	1) Does anyone have a reference for this statement?

	2) Can anyone give me a reference for the number of proteins
	   in the PDB which have metals in them?
