Model confidence (pLDDT)

The mean pLDDT of this model is 95.4 (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	93%
70 to 90	Confident: backbone generally right	7%
50 to 70	Low: treat with caution	0%
Below 50	Very low: often disordered regions	0%

What pLDDT means and how to read it

Function

Binds to 23S rRNA. Forms part of two intersubunit bridges in the 70S ribosome

Subunit structure

Part of the 50S ribosomal subunit (PubMed:10094780, PubMed:10756104, PubMed:12809609, PubMed:16272117, PubMed:24844575, PubMed:25310980, PubMed:2665813, PubMed:27906160, PubMed:27906161, PubMed:27934701, PubMed:352727, PubMed:7556101, PubMed:33639093). Forms a cluster with proteins L3 and L19 (PubMed:16272117, PubMed:2665813). Forms two bridges to the 30S subunit in the 70S ribosome, contacting…
