The mean pLDDT of this model is 89.4 (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 | 76% |
| 70 to 90 | Confident: backbone generally right | 15% |
| 50 to 70 | Low: treat with caution | 2% |
| Below 50 | Very low: often disordered regions | 8% |
What pLDDT means and how to read it
Involved in the localization of vas to the posterior pole of the oocyte. Required maternally in the germ line for efficient primordial germ cell formation
Interacts (via B30.2/SPRY domain) with vas; this interaction may be necessary for the transport of vas to the posterior pole of the oocyte. Interacts with Cul-5. May associate with the Elongin BC complex composed of Elongin-B and Elongin-C
