The mean pLDDT of this model is 85.0 (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 | 66% |
| 70 to 90 | Confident: backbone generally right | 17% |
| 50 to 70 | Low: treat with caution | 9% |
| Below 50 | Very low: often disordered regions | 8% |
What pLDDT means and how to read it
Subunit of heteromeric glycine-gated chloride channels (PubMed:10188956, PubMed:26344198). Plays an important role in the down-regulation of neuronal excitability. Contributes to the generation of inhibitory postsynaptic currents. Channel activity is potentiated by ethanol (By similarity)
Homopentamer (in vitro) (PubMed:26344198). Heteropentamer composed of glra1 and glrb (By similarity). Both homopentamers and heteropentamers form functional ion channels (By similarity). Interacts with glrb (By similarity)
