The mean pLDDT of this model is 80.6 (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 | 18% |
| 70 to 90 | Confident: backbone generally right | 66% |
| 50 to 70 | Low: treat with caution | 6% |
| Below 50 | Very low: often disordered regions | 11% |
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
Part of the 50S ribosomal subunit. Forms part of the ribosomal stalk which helps the ribosome interact with GTP-bound translation factors. Forms a heptameric L10(L12)2(L12)2(L12)2 complex, where L10 forms an elongated spine to which the L12 dimers bind in a sequential fashion (Probable)
