The mean pLDDT of this model is 85.7 (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 | 58% |
| 70 to 90 | Confident: backbone generally right | 27% |
| 50 to 70 | Low: treat with caution | 11% |
| Below 50 | Very low: often disordered regions | 4% |
What pLDDT means and how to read it
Essential component of the mitochondrial outer membrane sorting assembly machinery (SAM or TOB) complex, which is required for the sorting of proteins with complicated topology, such as beta-barrel proteins, to the mitochondrial outer membrane after import by the TOM complex
Component of the mitochondrial outer membrane sorting assembly machinery (SAM or TOB) complex, which at least consists of SAM35, SAM37 and SAM50
Mitochondrion outer membrane
