The mean pLDDT of this model is 71.5 (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 | 24% |
| 70 to 90 | Confident: backbone generally right | 37% |
| 50 to 70 | Low: treat with caution | 14% |
| Below 50 | Very low: often disordered regions | 25% |
What pLDDT means and how to read it
Clathrin is the major protein of the polyhedral coat of coated pits and vesicles
Clathrin coats are formed from molecules containing 3 heavy chains and 3 light chains. Interacts (via N-terminus) with HIP1. Interacts with HIP1R
Cytoplasmic vesicle membrane, Membrane, coated pit
