How To Generate Pdbids Of Interacting Partners From String Api

Question

[Reyhaneh]

I have been using STRING to generate interacting partners of a specific protein. (based on this post).

In the graphical version when for example for protein O15357 , I perform the search I can see the network and I am able to generate the PDB Codes of the interacting partners for those which have a structure.

Now I need to use the STRING API and for generating the interacting partners for O15357, I simply use:

http://string-db.org/api/tsv-no-header/interactorsList?identifiers=O15357&required_score=900&limit=10

But this one only returns the Ensembl Id (e.g. .ENSP00000275493) of the interacting partners.

When I use the command below, I can retrieve the pdbcodes but I do not understand the format:

http://string.embl.de/api/psi-mi/interactionsList?identifiers=O15357&required_score=400&limit=20

Do you have any suggestion how to generate the pdb codes? is it possible to generate pdb code for Ensembl Ids?

thanks in advance.

what do you mean with "I don't understand the format" ? http://string.embl.de/api/psi-mi/interactionsList?identifiers=O15357&required_score=400&limit=20 is just an XML file. It clearly contains some PDB identifiers e.g: 1wcp ( http://www.rcsb.org/pdb/files/1wcp.pdb )

I do understand it is XML file, the problem is that there are several PDB codes while in the graphical version for the same query I get less PdbCodes. So the main problem is how to interpret these pdbCodes.
