The “Helices” column refers to the total TMHs contained in each dataset (ExpALL, TMHs from TOPDB [50]; UniHuman, human representative proteome; UniER, human endoplasmic reticulum representative proteome; UniGolgi, human Golgi representative proteome; UniPM, human plasma membrane representative proteome; UniCress, Arabidopsis thaliana (mouse-ear cress) representative proteome, UniFungi, fungal representative proteome; UniBacilli, Bacilli class representative proteome; UniEcoli, Escherichia coli representative proteome; UniArch, Archaea representative proteome; see Methods for details). In (A) the “Database-defined flanks” and in (B) the “Database-defined viable* flanks” and the “Overlapping flanks” columns, the “Negative residues” column refers to the total number of negative residues found in the ±10 flanking residues on either side of the TMH and does not include residues found in the helix itself. (A) In the “Flanks after central alignment” column, the “Negative residues” column refers to the total number of negative residues found in the –20 to –10 residues and the +10 to +20 residues from the centrally aligned residues with a maximum database defined flank length of 20 residues. The total number of proteins is given in the IDs column. The “Helices” column contains the total number of TMHs in the dataset (n), the average number of TMHs per protein in that population (μ) and the standard deviation of that average (σ). The Kruskal-Wallis scores were calculated for negative residues by comparing the number of negatively charged residues that were within 10 residues inside and 10 residues outside the helices

*Here, viable indicates that in each TMH used for both flanks either side of the TMH has a flank length of at least half the maximum allowed flank length, in this case 10 (viable length = 5)
