The sensitivity corresponds to the fraction of residues that are inferred as interacting by M-ORBIS, among all the interacting residues described in each curated dataset. The lower bound specificity is the precision at which a residue described as interacting by M-ORBIS was annotated as such in the curated datasets. Numbers in parenthesis are standard deviations.

aA Pearson correlation indicates the resemblance between the IR compositions calculated from the curated and M-ORBIS analysis.

bThe fractions of interacting surface described by the curated analysis.

cThe fractions of interacting surface described by M-ORBIS

dThe interacting surface corresponds to the surface involved in at least one non-solvent interaction.
