The mean pLDDT of this model is 76.9 (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 | 27% |
| 70 to 90 | Confident: backbone generally right | 49% |
| 50 to 70 | Low: treat with caution | 9% |
| Below 50 | Very low: often disordered regions | 16% |
What pLDDT means and how to read it
Component of the eukaryotic translation initiation factor 3 (eIF-3) complex, which is involved in protein synthesis of a specialized repertoire of mRNAs and, together with other initiation factors, stimulates binding of mRNA and methionyl-tRNAi to the 40S ribosome. The eIF-3 complex specifically targets and initiates translation of a subset of mRNAs involved in cell proliferation
The eukaryotic translation initiation factor 3 (eIF-3) core complex is composed of TIF32, PRT1, NIP1, TIF34 and TIF35. A subcomplex of TIF32, NIP1 and PRT1 mediates the interaction with eIF-1, TIF5/eIF-5 and HCR1. The factors eIF-1, eIF-2, eIF-3, TIF5/eIF-5 and methionyl-tRNAi form a multifactor complex (MFC) that may bind to the 40S ribosome. TIF32, NIP1 and TIF5/eIF-5 comprise a minimal…
