i believe this may be closer to what you're looking for:
$dnakmotif = 'KPH([LVIFYA]{3,5}){1,)KRH'
this allows all 3 characters "KPH" at the beginning rather than
selecting between K or P or H. the same logic for "KPH" at the end.
since you're "or"ing between L V I F Y A, this should accomplish the
same in a much more compact format
hopefully i'm on the right track.
