Predicted Alignment Error (PAE) matrices are produced by deep-learning - based 3D-structure prediction pipelines such as AlphaFold. They reflect how reliably two parts of a model have been positioned in space, by giving for each residue the likely error (in Angstroms) between the modelled position and the pair of residues' real relative position.
