I have recently (08/97) compiled a list of cis-peptide bonds in the PDB. I
can send everyone who is interested a (huge) list of all cis-peptide
bonds, which looks like that: 

...  
pdb1aa1.ent LYS 175 <--> PRO 176  0.0 
pdb1zio.ent PHE  86 <--> PRO  87 -0.4
...

The last number is the omega angle.


I also have a table which summarizes how many cis-peptide bonds of a given
kind there are, like this:

----------------------------------
  AA | ALA ARG ASN ASP CYS GLN ...
-----|----------------------------
 ALA |   1   -   -  62   -   1 
 ARG |   -   -   -  16   -   -
 ASN |   1   -   2   1   -   -
 ASP |   1   -   1   1   -   -
 ...


Interestingly, CYS and MET are the only amino acids which do not take part
in a cis-peptide bond.
