The mean pLDDT of this model is 80.4 (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 | 21% |
| 70 to 90 | Confident: backbone generally right | 62% |
| 50 to 70 | Low: treat with caution | 11% |
| Below 50 | Very low: often disordered regions | 7% |
What pLDDT means and how to read it
Functions as a component of the nuclear pore complex (NPC) (PubMed:11564755, PubMed:11684705). Involved in poly(A)+ RNA transport
Part of the nuclear pore complex (NPC) (PubMed:11564755, PubMed:11684705). Forms part of the NUP160 subcomplex in the nuclear pore which is composed of NUP160, NUP133, NUP107 and NUP96 (PubMed:11564755, PubMed:11684705). This complex plays a role in RNA export and in tethering NUP98 and NUP153 to the nucleus (PubMed:11564755, PubMed:11684705)
