The mean pLDDT of this model is 90.9 (very high 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 | 75% |
| 70 to 90 | Confident: backbone generally right | 21% |
| 50 to 70 | Low: treat with caution | 3% |
| Below 50 | Very low: often disordered regions | 1% |
What pLDDT means and how to read it
Part of a botulinum neurotoxin type A2 (BoNT) locus; may be part of a progenitor toxin complex required to protect BoNT during its passage through the host gastrointestinal tract (Probable). Binds phosphatidylinositol (3,4) bisphosphate, phosphatidylethanolamine and phosphatidylserine (PubMed:29067689)
Part of a crude toxin extract that includes BoNTA2/NTNH, P47, OrfX2 and OrfX3; OrfX1 was not detected
