Model confidence (pLDDT)

The mean pLDDT of this model is 92.6 (very high 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	87%
70 to 90	Confident: backbone generally right	6%
50 to 70	Low: treat with caution	6%
Below 50	Very low: often disordered regions	2%

What pLDDT means and how to read it

Function

Component of the small ribosomal subunit. The ribosome is a large ribonucleoprotein complex responsible for the synthesis of proteins in the cell

Subunit structure

Part of the 30S ribosomal subunit (PubMed:10476960, PubMed:10588692, PubMed:11014182, PubMed:11283358, PubMed:11511350, PubMed:7957245). Contacts proteins uS4 and uS8 (PubMed:10476960, PubMed:10588692, PubMed:11014182, PubMed:11283358, PubMed:11511350)
