The mean pLDDT of this model is 78.6 (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 | 25% |
| 70 to 90 | Confident: backbone generally right | 58% |
| 50 to 70 | Low: treat with caution | 5% |
| Below 50 | Very low: often disordered regions | 12% |
What pLDDT means and how to read it
Involved in the maturation of autophagosomes into autolysosomes during starvation-induced autotrophy (PubMed:20550938, PubMed:22451698, PubMed:24374177, PubMed:25124690). Specifically, involved in the clearance of apoptotic cells by promoting the delivery of engulfed apoptotic cells to the lysosome (PubMed:22451698)
