The mean pLDDT of this model is 88.8 (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 | 59% |
| 70 to 90 | Confident: backbone generally right | 36% |
| 50 to 70 | Low: treat with caution | 5% |
| Below 50 | Very low: often disordered regions | 0% |
What pLDDT means and how to read it
Subunit of the oligosaccharyl transferase (OST) complex that catalyzes the initial transfer of a defined glycan (Glc(3)Man(9)GlcNAc(2) in eukaryotes) from the lipid carrier dolichol-pyrophosphate to an asparagine residue within an Asn-X-Ser/Thr consensus motif in nascent polypeptide chains, the first step in protein N-glycosylation. N-glycosylation occurs cotranslationally and the complex associates with the Sec61 complex at the channel-forming translocon complex that mediates protein translocation across the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). All subunits are required for a maximal enzyme activity (PubMed:11580295). Can participate in redox reactions and is able to catalyze dithiol-disulfide…
Component of the oligosaccharyltransferase (OST) complex, which appears to exist in two assemblies comprising OST1, OST2, OST4, OST5, STT3, SWP1, WPB1, and either OST3 or OST6 (PubMed:10358084, PubMed:15886282, PubMed:16096345, PubMed:16297388). OST assembly occurs through the formation of 3 subcomplexes. Subcomplex 1 contains OST1 and OST5, subcomplex 2 contains STT3, OST3, and OST4, and…
