What's the difference between counterflory and motif?
Counterflory
Definition:
(a.) Adorned with flowers (usually fleurs-de-lis) so divided that the tops appear on one side and the bottoms on the others; -- said of any ordinary.
Example Sentences:
Motif
Definition:
(n.) Motive.
Example Sentences:
(1) This receptor and a growing family of related cytokine receptors share homologous extracellular features, including a well-conserved WSXWS motif.
(2) We have generated a series of mutants in the two copies of this motif present in human immunodeficiency virus type 1.
(3) An additional 14 leader peptides in this collection (all of those that contain an arginine at -10) conform to this motif.
(4) In addition, region III has some structural features similar to a conserved motif found in complement receptor 1, the human C3b receptor.

(6) The same RNA-protein motif is used, through iron-dependent degradation of transferrin receptor mRNA, to decrease synthesis of the receptor and cellular iron uptake.
(7) Comparison of the human and mouse repeats revealed a highly conserved Glu-Asp core in each unit, implicating the functional significance of this motif.
(8) The three-dimensional solution structure of a zinc finger nucleic acid binding motif has been determined by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy.

(10) Since similar loop conformations form similar "words", the structural sequence facilitates the search for common structural motifs in a family of loops.
(11) A new repetitive DNA region was identified in the non-transcribed spacer of human rDNA, namely a long (4.6 kb) sequence motif (Xbal element) was present in two copies.
(12) X-ray analysis of these crystals will permit direct visualization of the specific structural motifs and chemical features that underlie phospholipase neurotoxicity.
(13) Information about the three-dimensional structure or function of a newly determined protein sequence can be obtained if the protein is found to contain a characterized motif or pattern of residues.
(14) For PPD-specific TCCs, a possible biased usage of V beta 8, as well as possible preferential usage of a CDR3 motif, were found.
