How to read this. Shape comes from experimentally deposited PDB coordinates; color comes from the saved model output aligned to the resolved amino-acid sequence. Unresolved residues have no geometry and therefore do not appear. Open the source entry at RCSB PDB.

The backbone is experimental

The viewer projects real three-dimensional Cα coordinates rather than generating a decorative protein-like shape.

Color remains a prediction

Purple, blue, orange, green, and gray encode the model’s Q8 class at each aligned residue; they do not replace the deposited structure annotation.
