Table 1. Description and categorization of biological metrics.

Metric Level Metric Short Name
Protein Metrics Gene Ontology: Molecular Function F
Gene Ontology: Biological Process P
Gene Ontology: Cellular Compartment C
Site Metrics Pfam Domains Pfam
Domain Phosphorylation Pfam Site
PhosphoELM Kinase Annotations PELM Kinase
Linear sequences Motifs
Scansite Kinase Predictions Scansite Kinase
Scansite Binding Predictions Scansite Bind
Dynamic Quantitative Metrics Minimum Phosphorylation MinValue
Maximum Phosphorylation MaxValue
Maximum Positive Change MaxPosChange
Maximum Negative Change MaxNegChange

There are a total of nine biological metrics and four dynamic metrics analyzed for enrichment in clusters. The metrics tested describe information regarding the protein a peptide arises from, the particular site of phosphorylation, or the quantitative data. The abbreviated labels used throughout this work are given.
