Draw the trace
A real protein's chain runs from left to right, cut into 20 stretches. Draw how sure you think AlphaFold is about each stretch: high for sure, low for unsure. Then its real confidence lands on top of your line.
Drag across the box, or click each stretch. On a keyboard: Tab to the box, then left and right arrows pick a stretch, up and down arrows set it.
- - - your line · —— AlphaFold's own confidence
A stretch with a low score is usually flexible in the real protein, or a piece that is cut off later, like the signal at the start of many proteins.
You predicted a prediction. AlphaFold's confidence is a model's estimate of its own accuracy, not a measurement.
