The mean pLDDT of this model is 87.4 (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 | 66% |
| 70 to 90 | Confident: backbone generally right | 22% |
| 50 to 70 | Low: treat with caution | 11% |
| Below 50 | Very low: often disordered regions | 1% |
What pLDDT means and how to read it
Required for correct functioning of the GINS complex, a complex that plays an essential role in the initiation of DNA replication, and progression of DNA replication forks (PubMed:17417653, PubMed:28414293, PubMed:35603789). GINS complex is a core component of CDC45-MCM-GINS (CMG) helicase, the molecular machine that unwinds template DNA during replication, and around which the replisome is built (PubMed:32453425, PubMed:34694004, PubMed:34700328, PubMed:35585232)
Component of the GINS complex which is a heterotetramer of GINS1, GINS2, GINS3 and GINS4 (PubMed:17170760, PubMed:17417653, PubMed:17545466, PubMed:17557111, PubMed:17652513, PubMed:28414293, PubMed:32453425). Forms a stable subcomplex with GINS2 (PubMed:17170760, PubMed:17417653, PubMed:17545466, PubMed:17557111, PubMed:17652513, PubMed:28414293). GINS complex interacts with DNA primase in…
