What is the width parameter?
The width is the total number of positions in the outputted motifs. That is, it is the sum of the wildcard as well as the non-wildcard positions (for example, the motif xRxRxxSxPxxxx has a width of 13, while the motif xxxSDxE has a width of 7). Since there is a fixed central residue, the width should always be an odd number. Most protein motifs are on the range of 6-8 amino acids long, so our default value of 13 usually captures most of this information.
