Protein Score is the sum of the ion scores of all peptides that were identified. This number reflects the combined scores of all observed mass spectra that can be matched to amino acid sequences within that protein. A higher score indicates a more confident match. Coverage is the percentage of the protein sequence covered by identified peptides. The number of unique peptides that determines a protein group can be set in Proteome Discoverer. Unique Peptides are the peptide sequences that are unique to a protein group. These are the peptides that are common to the proteins of a protein group, and which do not occur in the proteins of any other group.
