a

The coverage represents the percentage of human proteins in a given compartment that contain at least one InterPro motif.

b

The motif frequency is calculated as the total number of motifs in all proteins in a given compartment divided by the number of distinct motifs found in proteins in that compartment.

c

The motif compartment specificity index is calculated as the number of distinct motifs that are unique to a given compartment divided by the total number of distinct motifs in that compartment.
