So, you often find that a protein contains multiple domains, each domain characterized by having a sequence that matches the motif of its family. The principal difference is that domains are independently stable, while motifs are not. A motif can be part of a domain.

Answer 2

So, you often find that a protein contains multiple domains, each domain characterized by having a sequence that matches the motif of its family. The principal difference is that domains are independently stable, while motifs are not. A motif can be part of a domain.Motifs are structural characteristics and domains are functional regions (not necessarily related to size). In a protein, a particular arrangement of amino acids or secondary structure that can be found in other proteins (not necessarily evolutionarily related) can be called a motif.
