Explanation

Yes, it is the correct answer. InterPro is an integrated pattern database designed to unify multiple databases for protein domains and functional sites. The database integrates information from PROSITE, Pfam, PRINTS, ProDom and SMART databases. The sequence patterns from the five databases are further processed. Only overlapping motifs and domains in a protein sequence derived by all five databases are included.
