The mean pLDDT of this model is 89.0 (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 | 64% |
| 70 to 90 | Confident: backbone generally right | 31% |
| 50 to 70 | Low: treat with caution | 4% |
| Below 50 | Very low: often disordered regions | 1% |
What pLDDT means and how to read it
Component of the chaperonin-containing T-complex (TRiC), a molecular chaperone complex that assists the folding of actin, tubulin and other proteins upon ATP hydrolysis (PubMed:25467444, PubMed:36493755, PubMed:35449234, PubMed:37193829). The TRiC complex mediates the folding of WRAP53/TCAB1, thereby regulating telomere maintenance (PubMed:25467444). As part of the TRiC complex may play a role in the assembly of BBSome, a complex involved in ciliogenesis regulating transports vesicles to the cilia (PubMed:20080638)
Component of the chaperonin-containing T-complex (TRiC), a hexadecamer composed of two identical back-to-back stacked rings enclosing a protein folding chamber (PubMed:1630492, PubMed:20080638, PubMed:25467444, PubMed:36493755, PubMed:35449234, PubMed:37193829). Each ring is made up of eight different subunits: TCP1/CCT1, CCT2, CCT3, CCT4, CCT5, CCT6A/CCT6, CCT7, CCT8 (PubMed:36493755,…
