     * If you are having trouble curating a difficult paper, then it is a good idea to email other curators for advice.     * If you are having trouble curating a difficult paper, then it is a good idea to email other curators for advice.

-    * If the paper only contains interactions from an organism that isn’t in the organism pull down menu in the IMS, then the paper can be marked as read.  However, if it contains interactions in other organisms that are in the IMS, but not from the project you're working on, then switch the paper to the relevant project or "Misc"​. ​ If the paper contains interactions from a variety of organisms, then go ahead and curate all of the interactions for all relevant organisms if they'​re straightforward. However, if there'​s any confusion about the genes/​proteins involved, then it is best to only curate the relevant interactions for your organism of interest. When you are finished, mark the paper as read and select the 'Full Text' option for the project you're in, then email the PubMed ID to other curators who may be able to help out with the curation of interactions from other organisms in that paper.+    * If the paper only contains interactions from an organism that isn’t in the organism pull down menu in the IMS, then move it to the "Miscellaneous curation" ​project.

   - **If a paper shows that the presence of a protein is required for the formation of a protein complex, is this enough evidence to enter an interaction between the required protein and all the subunits of the complex (e.g. Fig. 1, [[http://​www.jbc.org/​cgi/​content/​full/​277/​50/​48484|PMID:​ 12377768]])?​**   - **If a paper shows that the presence of a protein is required for the formation of a protein complex, is this enough evidence to enter an interaction between the required protein and all the subunits of the complex (e.g. Fig. 1, [[http://​www.jbc.org/​cgi/​content/​full/​277/​50/​48484|PMID:​ 12377768]])?​**
     * In Fig. 1 of this example, the authors show that Tim11p is required for dimerization of the FIFO-ATP synthase dimer, but they only immunoblotted with an antibody against one subunit of the F1 sector of the complex. This would not warrant entering an interaction with all of the subunits of the complex because we are not going to add inferences based on this type of in vivo data. It is also important to note that none of the existing experimental systems in the curation tool would apply to this type of experiment.     * In Fig. 1 of this example, the authors show that Tim11p is required for dimerization of the FIFO-ATP synthase dimer, but they only immunoblotted with an antibody against one subunit of the F1 sector of the complex.
