The mean pLDDT of this model is 95.9 (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 | 94% |
| 70 to 90 | Confident: backbone generally right | 6% |
| 50 to 70 | Low: treat with caution | 0% |
| Below 50 | Very low: often disordered regions | 0% |
What pLDDT means and how to read it
Forms part of two intersubunit bridges in the 70S ribosome (By similarity). Binds to 23S rRNA
Forms a cluster with proteins L3 and L19. In the 70S ribosome, L14 and L19 interact and together make contacts with the 16S rRNA in bridges B5 and B8 (By similarity). Part of the 50S ribosomal subunit
