The mean pLDDT of this model is 80.9 (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 | 64% |
| 70 to 90 | Confident: backbone generally right | 14% |
| 50 to 70 | Low: treat with caution | 3% |
| Below 50 | Very low: often disordered regions | 20% |
What pLDDT means and how to read it
Adds a myristoyl group to the N-terminal glycine residue of certain cellular and viral proteins (PubMed:25255805, PubMed:9506952). Also able to mediate N-terminal lysine myristoylation of proteins: catalyzes myristoylation of ARF6 on both 'Gly-2' and 'Lys-3' (PubMed:32103017). Lysine myristoylation is required to maintain ARF6 on membranes during the GTPase cycle (PubMed:32103017)
