contacts-v1 predicted-complex corpus

3,410,738 contacts-v1 documents / 11.15 B tokens of protein–protein complexes, each document one whole complex with every chain laid out together.

• 261,833,754 interface contacts (12.4% of 2.11 B total) — contacts that cross a chain boundary
• 611,656 heterodimers and 2,799,082 homodimers
• 19 GB, 171 ZSTD parquet shards
• Decontaminated against the 577-unit eval2 set, every subunit checked
• Built by MarinFold #294

What this is

Two arms, distinguished by source_arm and never mixed silently:

arm	documents	what it is
afcdb	2,982,517	predicted dimers from NVIDIA's AlphaFold complex release, selectively extracted from 48.8 TB of archives
pinder	428,221	experimental heterodimer interfaces from PINDER 2024-02

The AFCDB arm is the bulk and is where the "predicted" in the name comes from. The PINDER arm exists because AFCDB's heterodimer pool is genuinely exhausted at 183,435 usable models — it is not rationed, and no threshold change produces more. PINDER supplies 385,354 systems on 32,939 UniProt pairs that appear nowhere in AFCDB, which is what takes heterodimers past 500k.

What one document is

One complex, all chains on a shared 2000-index wrap-around ring, in the multi-chain contacts-v1 format introduced by #222 — no new tokens, same tokenizer. Chains are shuffled into a random ring order with random gaps, so chain identity is recoverable from the <n-term>/<c-term> statements and the contiguity of each chain's index run, not from document order. The minimum sequence separation of 6 is intra-chain only: two residues on different chains are a candidate contact at any index distance.

Full spec: SPEC.md § Multiple protein chains.

Sizes: mean 700 residues, median 630, range 26–1998. Mean 3,270 tokens, capped at 8,192; 82,756 documents (2.4%) hit that cap and carry truncated = true.

Curation

AFCDB. 29,025,020 source models were ranked by quality_ratio = min(ipSAE/0.6, pDockQ2/0.23) and filtered on: at least one reported interaction, at most 10 backbone clashes, sum(chain lengths) + k ≤ 2000, a UniProt sequence whose length matches the model's residue count, and a distinct sequence pair. 3,000,000 models were selected; every one of the 29,025,020 carries exactly one terminal ledger reason, and the 3,000,000 resolve to 2,982,771 generated, 16,856 whose member was not in the tar the metadata named, and 373 in 28 tars that no longer exist upstream.

confidence_tier splits the selection: A (1,748,907, mean quality ratio 1.33) passes the original hard gate; B (1,233,610, mean 0.67) is the relaxed tier needed to reach 3M — the 0.5 floor misses it on arithmetic alone. Tier B is kept and labelled rather than dropped, so training can choose.

PINDER. 2,319,564 systems reduced to 449,835: heterodimers only, PINDER's own invalid verdict honoured, same 2000-residue ring budget, a UniProt mapping required. Coordinates were fetched by byte offset out of a 35 GB zip rather than downloading it.

Both arms carry contacts_emitted_inter_chain ≥ 1. 254 AFCDB models cleared the ipSAE/pDockQ2 gate without a single chain–chain contact; a complex whose chains never touch is not an interface example, so they are dropped.

Decontamination

Reference: eval2, all 577 units (#226) — not the legacy 554. The #225 rule applied to every subunit of every complex: drop if identity ≥ 30% over ≥ 50% query coverage, or E ≤ 1e-3. MMseqs2 at -s 7.5, --max-seqs 1000000, search -e 1000, uncensored prefilter.

• AFCDB: 1,071,475 of 21,030,179 UniProt accessions dropped (5.1%), applied before selection. A complex is dropped if either subunit matches.
• PINDER: searched against the structure sequences rather than UniProt, because a PINDER system is a crystallised fragment and its UniProt entry is not what the document contains. 16,430 of 445,206 systems dropped (3.7%).

There is no TM ≥ 0.5 fold purge — the policy is sequence homology plus structural near-duplicate protection, deliberately not a fold-level purge.

PINDER's own val and test splits are also excluded (555 systems). The eval2 drop list only knows about MarinFold's eval; shipping PINDER's benchmark inside a training corpus would contaminate anyone who evaluates on it.

The two manifests

Redundancy is preserved in the corpus and controlled in sampling. Both manifests cover the same 3,410,738 documents and differ only in weight.

cluster_key is a real interface cluster for PINDER (pinder:<id>) and the sequence pair for AFCDB (afcdb_pair:<a>|<b>), labelled so the two are never conflated. AFCDB models are one-per-sequence-pair, so every AFCDB cluster has size 1; PINDER averages 18.7 structures per interface cluster and reaches 15,274 in its largest.

• manifest_natural — weight 1 everywhere, the mixture the sources have.
• manifest_balanced — sampling_weight = 1/√(cluster_size), with a cap at 0.1% of total probability per cluster.

clusters, ranked by sampling mass	share of documents	share of sampling
top 1	0.448%	0.0041%
top 10	2.579%	0.0299%
top 100	5.268%	0.1216%
top 1% (30,054)	12.764%	2.020%

The cap never binds here. Inverse-√ alone brings the largest cluster — 15,274 experimental structures of one interface — from 0.448% of the documents down to 0.0041% of sampling mass, a 110× reduction, well inside the 0.1% budget. The cap stays as a guard rail for a future arm with heavier redundancy.

This is deliberately not exp145's policy, which collapsed to one representative per coarse chain-pair cluster and shrank 2.01M candidates to 17,083. Several structures of one interface are signal, not duplication.

Schema notes

• source_arm — afcdb or pinder. Check it before using any score column.
• quality_ratio, ipsae_score, pdockq2_score — AFCDB only, NULL for PINDER. pdb_id, resolution, interface_cluster_id — PINDER only.
• confidence_tier — A/B for AFCDB, experimental for PINDER.
• partner_a/partner_b — UniProt accessions (AFCDB) or the receptor/ligand UniProt ids (PINDER).
• pair_also_in_afcdb — PINDER only: whether this UniProt pair also appears in the AFCDB arm. False for 385,354 of the 428,221.
• document_id — <complex_type>|<modelEntityId> for AFCDB, the PINDER system_id otherwise. AFCDB's modelEntityId is not unique across its two source tables (130 ids are both a homodimer and a heterodimer), which is why the type is part of the id.
• num_tokens is exact against the co-located tokenizer, verified by re-encoding.
• All 3,410,738 sha1 values are distinct: no document appears twice.
