The mean pLDDT of this model is 87.4 (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 | 69% |
| 70 to 90 | Confident: backbone generally right | 21% |
| 50 to 70 | Low: treat with caution | 3% |
| Below 50 | Very low: often disordered regions | 7% |
What pLDDT means and how to read it
N-alpha-acetyltransferase that acetylates the N-terminus of proteins that retain their initiating methionine (PubMed:25886145). Has a broad substrate specificity: able to acetylate the initiator methionine of most peptides (PubMed:25886145). Non-essential component of the NatA N-terminal acetyltransferase (PubMed:14517307)
Component of the N-terminal acetyltransferase A (NatA) complex, which is composed of ARD1, NAT1 and NAT5
