The mean pLDDT of this model is 79.0 (confident overall). pLDDT is AlphaFold's per-residue confidence score from 0 to 100. In MolViewer, choose the B-factor color scheme to color the model by pLDDT, because AlphaFold stores it in the B-factor column.
| pLDDT band | Meaning | Share of residues |
|---|---|---|
| Above 90 | Very high: backbone and side chains are usually accurate | 33% |
| 70 to 90 | Confident: backbone generally right | 45% |
| 50 to 70 | Low: treat with caution | 4% |
| Below 50 | Very low: often disordered regions | 18% |
What pLDDT means and how to read it
The light-harvesting complex (LHC) functions as a light receptor, it captures and delivers excitation energy to photosystems with which it is closely associated
The LHC complex consists of chlorophyll a-b binding proteins
Plastid, chloroplast thylakoid membrane
