The motif is the repetitive supersecondary structures, an example of a motif is a beta-alpha-beta unit. The motifs are formed of the clusters of secondary structure.

On the other hand, the domains are globular and stable functional units in a protein. It may retain a three-dimensional configuration when distinguished from the rest of the protein.

Both the motifs and domains are stabilized by the hydrophobic interactions, they both are a unit of tertiary structure, and are dependent on primary composition.
