=== Sequence motif ===
Short amino acid sequences within proteins often act as recognition sites for other proteins.<ref>{{cite journal | vauthors = Davey NE, Van Roey K, Weatheritt RJ, Toedt G, Uyar B, Altenberg B, Budd A, Diella F, Dinkel H, Gibson TJ | title = Attributes of short linear motifs | journal = Molecular BioSystems | volume = 8 | issue = 1 | pages = 268–281 | date = January 2012 | pmid = 21909575 | doi = 10.1039/c1mb05231d }}</ref> For instance, [[SH3 domain]]s typically bind to short PxxP motifs (i.e. 2 [[proline]]s [P], separated by two unspecified [[amino acid]]s [x], although the surrounding amino acids may determine the exact binding specificity). Many such motifs has been collected in the [[Eukaryotic Linear Motif resource|Eukaryotic Linear Motif]] (ELM) database.<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Kumar |first1=Manjeet |last2=Gouw |first2=Marc |last3=Michael |first3=Sushama |last4=Sámano-Sánchez |first4=Hugo |last5=Pancsa |first5=Rita |last6=Glavina |first6=Juliana |last7=Diakogianni |first7=Athina |last8=Valverde |first8=Jesús Alvarado |last9=Bukirova |first9=Dayana |last10=Čalyševa |first10=Jelena |last11=Palopoli |first11=Nicolas |last12=Davey |first12=Norman E. |last13=Chemes |first13=Lucía B. |last14=Gibson |first14=Toby J. |date=2020-01-08 |title=ELM-the eukaryotic linear motif resource in 2020 |journal=Nucleic Acids Research |volume=48 |issue=D1 |pages=D296–D306 |doi=10.1093/nar/gkz1030 |pmc=7145657 |pmid=31680160}}</ref>
