Wikipedia definition
1. Structural motifIn a chain-like biological molecule, such as a protein or nucleic acid, a structural motif is a supersecondary structure, which appears also in a variety of other molecules. Motifs do not allow us to predict the biological functions because they are found in proteins and enzymes with dissimilar functions Because the relationship between primary structure and tertiary structure is not straightforward, two biopolymers may share the same motif yet lack appreciable primary structure similarity.
