Dear Evette,
the PDB lists the citation when you enter the PDB-ID in the search
mask of any of the web-interfaces, which is much easier for the reader
than typing the information from the list of references, i.e. all
information is in the article by mentioning the PDB-ID. Why do you
consider it a matter of courtesy to re-cite the structural work?
Cheers,
Tim
