Model confidence (pLDDT)

The mean pLDDT of this model is 92.9 (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	88%
70 to 90	Confident: backbone generally right	11%
50 to 70	Low: treat with caution	1%
Below 50	Very low: often disordered regions	0%

What pLDDT means and how to read it

Function

This protein is one of the early assembly proteins of the 50S ribosomal subunit, although it is not seen to bind rRNA by itself. It is important during the early stages of 50S assembly

Subunit structure

Part of the 50S ribosomal subunit (PubMed:30126986). Binds to Obg (AC P20964) (PubMed:10781545)
