A protein domain is a conserved part of a given protein sequence and (tertiary) structure that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. Each domain<span> forms a compact three-dimensional structure and often can be independently stable and folded.

On the other hand, a motif is a </span>distinctive sequence<span> on a protein or DNA, having a three-dimensional structure that allows binding interactions to occur. Early on, clustering was used to detect common three-dimensional structural motifs in </span>proteins<span>.

Why is it necessary to complete the identification of a bacterium based?
Neporo4naja [7]
<span>The trouble with identifying bacteria is that a lot of them look exactly the same. So, identifying by shape and such will only get you so far. However, two kinds of bacteria that look exactly the same under the microscope could have very different physiologists. One may be able to use a certain sugar as an energy source while the other one cannot, for example. Therefore, you can use morphology (physical characteristics) to narrow down the possibilities, but then you must complete the identification using the bacteria's physiology.</span>
