Model confidence (pLDDT)

The mean pLDDT of this model is 88.2 (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	52%
70 to 90	Confident: backbone generally right	43%
50 to 70	Low: treat with caution	4%
Below 50	Very low: often disordered regions	1%

What pLDDT means and how to read it

Function

Involved in the binding of tRNA to the ribosomes (By similarity). Part of the top of the 30S subunit head

Subunit structure

Part of the 30S ribosomal subunit. Forms a tight complex with proteins S3 and S14. Also contacts protein S9
