Summary of Changes

This PR introduces a new search engine for ModPair Search, supporting two distinct modes:

  1. GlycoSearchEngine
  • Database: Utilizes a glyco-only database with no non-glyco modifications.
  • Motif Restriction: Specifically targets serine (S) and threonine (T) residues, optimized for O-glycan searches.
  1. ModSearchEngine
  • Database: Compatible with a general modification database, supporting broader search capabilities.
  • Motif Extraction: Motifs are dynamically retrieved from the modBox via the getMotifs function.

Additional Changes

Unified Box Structure: The previously separate glycanBox has been merged into the more general-purpose modBox, since glycanBox did not contain any glycan-specific logic.
