The mean pLDDT of this model is 94.2 (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 | 93% |
| 70 to 90 | Confident: backbone generally right | 6% |
| 50 to 70 | Low: treat with caution | 1% |
| Below 50 | Very low: often disordered regions | 0% |
What pLDDT means and how to read it
Component of the large ribosomal subunit. The ribosome is a large ribonucleoprotein complex responsible for the synthesis of proteins in the cell
Part of the 50S ribosomal subunit (Probable) (PubMed:10937989, PubMed:12150912, PubMed:12860128). Interacts weakly with protein eL43 (L37Ae) (PubMed:10937989). Forms a bridge to the 30S subunit in the 70S ribosome (By similarity)
