There are results for all four proteins in the XML file, but they look 
like this:

  <Iteration>
    <Iteration_iter-num>2</Iteration_iter-num>
    <Iteration_query-ID>2_20304</Iteration_query-ID>
    <Iteration_query-def>p2</Iteration_query-def>
    ...
  </Iteration>

and so on. Could you let us know how this XML file was generated?
