The mean pLDDT of this model is 91.2 (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 | 82% |
| 70 to 90 | Confident: backbone generally right | 9% |
| 50 to 70 | Low: treat with caution | 5% |
| Below 50 | Very low: often disordered regions | 4% |
What pLDDT means and how to read it
Component of the large ribosomal subunit (PubMed:36517592). The ribosome is a large ribonucleoprotein complex responsible for the synthesis of proteins in the cell (PubMed:36517592)
Component of the large ribosomal subunit (PubMed:36517592). Interacts with CRY1 (PubMed:19129230). Interacts with DICER1, AGO2, TARBP2, MOV10 and EIF6; they form a large RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC) (By similarity)
