The FTP directory contains a folder for each PSI-MI XML format (2.5 and 3.0). Each PSI-MI XML folder contains a folder per species which further contains a file per complex. Predicted complexes in the FTP directory are organised in the same way.

The ComplexTab contains a separate tab-separated values (tsv) file for each species. Predicted complexes are in a separately marked file.

The webservice has four methods:

  • /search/
  • /details/
  • /export/
  • /complex/
