60
+ **Spymot** is a comprehensive protein analysis platform that combines motif detection with 3D structure validation using AlphaFold2 confidence scores. Designed for cancer biology research, drug discovery, and functional genomics, Spymot provides deep insights into protein function through systematic analysis of short linear motifs (SLiMs) and targeting signals.
61
+
62
+ ## 📦 **Python Package**
63
+
64
+ Spymot is now available as a **Python package** that can be installed via pip! This provides unified access to both V1 and V2 functionality through a single, easy-to-use interface.
65
+
66
+ ## 🎯 Key Features
67
+
68
+ - **94.6% coverage** of critical protein motifs (316+ patterns)
69
+ - **AlphaFold2 integration** with pLDDT confidence scoring
70
+ - **Cancer-focused analysis** with relevance scoring
71
+ - **Context-aware detection** (topology, disorder, cellular localization)
72
+ - **Multiple interfaces**: CLI, Python API, Interactive mode
73
+ - **Rich output formats**: JSON, YAML, TXT with biological interpretation
74
+
75
+ ## 🔬 Applications
76
+
77
+ - **Tumor suppressor analysis** (p53, BRCA1 degradation signals)
78
+ - **Kinase characterization** (CDK, ATM/ATR phosphorylation sites)
79
+ - **Therapeutic target assessment** (allosteric pockets, drug binding)
80
+ - **Biomarker discovery** (cancer-specific PTM signatures)
81
+ - **Drug resistance analysis** (EGFR T790M, conformational changes)
82
+
83
+ ## 🚀 Innovation
84
+
85
+ Moves beyond sequence-based detection to incorporate 3D structural context, enabling identification of discontinuous motifs and providing mechanistic insights into protein function and dysfunction.
86
+
87
+ Perfect for researchers in structural biology, cancer research, drug discovery, and bioinformatics.

138
+ ## 🌟 The Critical Advancement: Structure-Based Motif Detection
139
+
140
+ Spymot represents a **major leap in bioinformatics** by moving beyond traditional sequence-based detection to incorporate highly accurate, predicted three-dimensional context using AlphaFold2.
141
+
142
+ ### 🎯 Why This Project is Crucially Important
143
+
144
+ | Key Significance | Explanation |

+ | **Superior Accuracy** | Uses 3D structure as primary input, identifying motifs even with sequence variability |
147
+ | **Discontinuous Motifs** | Recognizes non-linear motifs formed by distant amino acids in 3D space |
148
+ | **High-Throughput** | Leverages AlphaFold Database for rapid analysis without experimental bottlenecks |
149
+ | **Functional Prediction** | Enables immediate prediction of PPI interfaces and ligand binding pockets |
150
+ | **Structure-Function Bridge** | Translates gene sequences into functional hypotheses based on 3D structure |
151
+
152

530
+
531
+ ## 🔬 Scientific Background
532
+
533
+ ### AlphaFold Integration
534
+ Spymot uses the [AlphaFold Protein Structure Database](https://alphafold.ebi.ac.uk/) to assess 3D structural context:
535
+
536
+ - **pLDDT Scores**: Per-residue confidence from AlphaFold models
537
+ - **Threshold**: ≥70 pLDDT indicates reliable 3D structure
538
+ - **Coverage**: 200M+ protein structures from model organisms
539
+
540
+ ### Confidence Scoring Integration
541
+ Spymot uses AlphaFold2 pLDDT scores to validate motif predictions:
542
+ - **pLDDT > 90**: Very high confidence - motif likely structured and functional
543
+ - **pLDDT 70-90**: Confident - motif probably functional with good structure
544
+ - **pLDDT 50-70**: Low confidence - motif may be disordered but still functional
545
+ - **pLDDT < 50**: Very low confidence - motif prediction uncertain
546
+
547
+ ### Short Linear Motifs (SLiMs) in Cancer Biology
548
+ Short Linear Motifs are 3-10 amino acid sequences that mediate crucial protein functions:
549
+
550
+ #### Functional Classes
551
+ 1. **Degrons**: Target proteins for degradation (APC/C, SCF complexes)
552
+ 2. **Kinase Sites**: Phosphorylation targets (CDK, ATM/ATR, PKA)
553
+ 3. **Interaction Motifs**: Protein binding sites (SH2, SH3, PDZ, 14-3-3)
554
+ 4. **Localization Signals**: Subcellular targeting (NLS, NES, organellar signals)
555
+
556
+ #### Cancer Relevance
557
+ - **Tumor Suppressors**: p53 contains 15+ regulatory motifs
558
+ - **Oncoproteins**: Myc, β-catenin rely on motifs for function/regulation
559
+ - **Drug Targets**: Kinase sites are primary targets for cancer therapy
560
+ - **Biomarkers**: Motif mutations predict treatment response
