The mean pLDDT of this model is 79.6 (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 | 43% |
| 70 to 90 | Confident: backbone generally right | 26% |
| 50 to 70 | Low: treat with caution | 28% |
| Below 50 | Very low: often disordered regions | 3% |
What pLDDT means and how to read it
Component of the TOM (translocase of outer membrane) receptor complex responsible for the recognition and translocation of cytosolically synthesized mitochondrial preproteins. TOM6 is involved in assembly and stability of the TOM complex
Forms part of the TOM (translocase of outer membrane) complex that consists of 7 different transmembrane proteins TOM5, TOM6, TOM7, TOM20, TOM22, TOM40 and TOM70 (PubMed:9774667). The translocation pore through which precursor polypeptides must pass is formed by TOM40, a beta-barrel protein structurally related to mitochondrial porin. The other TOM proteins are associated with TOM40 by their…
