The mean pLDDT of this model is 79.4 (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 | 46% |
| 70 to 90 | Confident: backbone generally right | 28% |
| 50 to 70 | Low: treat with caution | 17% |
| Below 50 | Very low: often disordered regions | 10% |
What pLDDT means and how to read it
Component of the mitochondrial ribosome (mitoribosome), a dedicated translation machinery responsible for the synthesis of mitochondrial genome-encoded proteins, including at least some of the essential transmembrane subunits of the mitochondrial respiratory chain. The mitoribosomes are attached to the mitochondrial inner membrane and translation products are cotranslationally integrated into the membrane
Component of the mitochondrial small ribosomal subunit (mt-SSU). Mature yeast 74S mitochondrial ribosomes consist of a small (37S) and a large (54S) subunit. The 37S small subunit contains a 15S ribosomal RNA (15S mt-rRNA) and 34 different proteins. The 54S large subunit contains a 21S rRNA (21S mt-rRNA) and 46 different proteins. mS43 forms a heterodimer with mS42, building a large protuberance…
