The mean pLDDT of this model is 54.0 (low 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 | 0% |
| 70 to 90 | Confident: backbone generally right | 14% |
| 50 to 70 | Low: treat with caution | 41% |
| Below 50 | Very low: often disordered regions | 45% |
What pLDDT means and how to read it
Forms part of the ribosomal stalk, playing a central role in the interaction of the ribosome with GTP-bound translation factors (such as IF-2, EF-Tu, EF-G and RF3)
Part of the ribosomal stalk of the 50S ribosomal subunit. The N-terminus interacts with L11 and 23S rRNA to form the base of the stalk. The C-terminus forms an elongated spine to which L12 dimers bind in a sequential fashion forming a pentameric L10(L12)2(L12)2 complex
