The mean pLDDT of this model is 74.2 (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 | 36% |
| 70 to 90 | Confident: backbone generally right | 26% |
| 50 to 70 | Low: treat with caution | 16% |
| Below 50 | Very low: often disordered regions | 23% |
What pLDDT means and how to read it
Histone chaperone that facilitates histone deposition and histone exchange and removal during nucleosome assembly and disassembly
Interacts with histone H3 and histone H4
