The mean pLDDT of this model is 78.4 (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 | 60% |
| 70 to 90 | Confident: backbone generally right | 19% |
| 50 to 70 | Low: treat with caution | 1% |
| Below 50 | Very low: often disordered regions | 21% |
What pLDDT means and how to read it
Channel-forming protein that forms part of the translocase of the outer mitochondrial membrane (TOM) complex essential for the recognition and translocation of cytosolically synthesized mitochondrial preproteins (PubMed:15644312, PubMed:31206022, PubMed:40080546). The TOM complex associates with the ion channel VDAC2 and PINK1 kinase at depolarized mitochondria, this interaction stabilizes PINK1 at the outer mitochondrial membrane and triggers downstream mitophagy by the recruitment of the E3 ubiquitin ligase PRKN (PubMed:40080546). Plays a role in the assembly of the mitochondrial membrane respiratory chain NADH dehydrogenase (Complex I) by forming a complex with BCAP31 and mediating the…
Part of the translocase of the outer mitochondrial membrane (TOM) complex consisting of at least TOMM5, TOMM6, TOMM7, TOMM20, TOMM22 and TOMM40; within the complex there are two copies of TOMM40 and they form the channel for the import of unfolded precursor protein (PubMed:18331822, PubMed:40080546). TOMM70 may also be found in the TOM complex (PubMed:18331822). The TOM complex interacts with…
