The mean pLDDT of this model is 69.4 (low 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 | 20% |
| 70 to 90 | Confident: backbone generally right | 43% |
| 50 to 70 | Low: treat with caution | 13% |
| Below 50 | Very low: often disordered regions | 24% |
What pLDDT means and how to read it
Microtubule-binding motor protein which has ATPase activity (PubMed:36065637). In complex with alpha and beta tubulins, preferentially binds to the growing microtubule plus-end to stabilize it and detaches following ATP hydrolysis (PubMed:36065637). Negatively regulates axonal length through inhibiting microtubule polymerization at its plus-end (PubMed:36065637)
Component of a complex at least composed of alpha tubulin and beta tubulin (PubMed:36065637). Within the complex, interacts with the alpha tubulin and beta tubulin dimer (PubMed:36065637)
