Searching and Extracting Data from the EMBL-EBI Complex Portal

Methods Mol Biol. 2018:1764:377-390. doi: 10.1007/978-1-4939-7759-8_24.

Abstract

The Complex Portal ( www.ebi.ac.uk/complexportal ) is an encyclopedia of macromolecular complexes. Complexes are assigned unique, stable IDs, are species specific, and list all participating members with links to an appropriate reference database (UniProtKB, ChEBI, RNAcentral). Each complex is annotated extensively with its functions, properties, structure, stoichiometry, tissue expression profile, and subcellular location. Links to domain-specific databases allow the user to access additional information and enable data searching and filtering. Complexes can be saved and downloaded in PSI-MI XML, MI-JSON, and tab-delimited formats.

Keywords: Bioinformatics; Complex portal; Database; Molecular pathways; Protein function; Protein structure; Protein-protein interactions.
