Each predicted model has an average estimated reliability (pLDDT). >90 is likely accurate; <70 is low confidence. For more about interpreting these values, please see the [https://alphafold.ebi.ac.uk/faq AlphaFold Database FAQ].

[[FirstGlance in Jmol]] version 3.7 (when released) will automatically color uploaded AlphaFold models by estimated reliability per residue.
Some models have high confidence in a folded [[domain]], and low confidence in a segment that is not part of a compact domain. Low-confidence segments may be [[intrinsically disordered]]. It is useful to compare [[Intrinsically_Disordered_Protein#Protein_disorder_predictors|predictions of disorder]] with AlphaFold reliability estimates.
