The 4A/3B motif’s metal-binding strength is ~10 kcal/mol weaker compared to motifs with multiple anionic residues not surrounded by cationic residues. This flexibility without conformational change suggests the motif may act as a metal ion reservoir, potentially regulating metal concentrations or adapting thermal stability. Similar motifs were found in other proteins, indicating a broader functional role beyond ''Tc''AChE.
