The Database of Interacting Proteins (DIP) is a biological database which catalogs experimentally determined interactions between
DIP can be searched through its web interface; searches may be based on the interactions described in a selected journal article, or interactions supported by experimental evidence, amongst others.[4]
DIP is a member of the International Molecular Exchange Consortium (IMEx),[5] a group of the major public providers of interaction data. Other participating databases include the Biomolecular Interaction Network Database (BIND),[6] IntAct,[7] the Molecular Interaction Database (MINT),[8] MIPS,[9] MPact, and BioGRID.[5] The databases of IMEx work together to prevent duplications of effort, collecting data from non-overlapping sources and sharing the curated interaction data. The IMEx consortium also worked to develop the HUPO-PSI-MI XML format, which is now widely implemented.[5][10]
