The toolbox provides a dedicated set of applications
to help you with setting up the actual structure calculation runs once you have prepared your data files and completed fragment picking.
This suit of programs provides
setup_target.py is used to bundle a set of input files and options for one protein target as a Setup. The application setup_run is used to generate all the input files (flags, score patches, scripts etc.) required to run a structure calculation with Rosetta. The applications provide support for different queuing systems and generates the appropriate job-scripts for job-submission. The application is easily extendable to support other queuing systems.
Currently, the structure calculation protocols abrelax (basic CS-Rosetta), rasrec and autoNOE are supported. The setup application is quite modular and plugins to support other structure calculation protocols can easily be written (Developer's Guide ).
The most important concepts of the setup-suite are the
Method
A structure calculation protocol (e.g., abrelax, rasrec, autoNOE)
Target
A protein target, characterized e.g., by its fasta-sequence, and a collection of target-specific restraint files
Setup
A combination of Method
and Target
ready to generate a Run
Run
A directory that contains flag-files and job-scripts ready to run a structure calculation
