The mean pLDDT of this model is 90.5 (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 | 79% |
| 70 to 90 | Confident: backbone generally right | 13% |
| 50 to 70 | Low: treat with caution | 6% |
| Below 50 | Very low: often disordered regions | 2% |
What pLDDT means and how to read it
Component of the small ribosomal subunit (By similarity). The ribosome is a large ribonucleoprotein complex responsible for the synthesis of proteins in the cell (By similarity). Has endonuclease activity and plays a role in repair of damaged DNA (PubMed:7775413). Cleaves phosphodiester bonds of DNAs containing altered bases with broad specificity and cleaves supercoiled DNA more efficiently than relaxed DNA (By similarity). Displays high binding affinity for 7,8-dihydro-8-oxoguanine (8-oxoG), a common DNA lesion caused by reactive oxygen species (ROS) (By similarity). Has also been shown to bind with similar affinity to intact and damaged DNA (By similarity). Stimulates the N-glycosylase…
Component of the 40S small ribosomal subunit. Identified in a IGF2BP1-dependent mRNP granule complex containing untranslated mRNAs. Interacts with HNRPD. Interacts with PRMT1; the interaction methylates RPS3. Interacts with SUMO1; the interaction sumoylates RPS3. Interacts with UBC9. Interacts with CDK1; the interaction phosphorylates RPS3. Interacts with PRKCD; the interaction phosphorylates…
