DIPOCOUP

Jens Meiler, 1999-2000
The program offers a fast and comfortable tool analyzing and handling dipolar coupling data. Powder pattern can be visualized, theoretical dipolar couplings can be calculated for a given structure and alignment and experimental values can be fitted over one or even a set of structures in order to perform e. g. a 3D homology search for proteins. A well distributed database extracted from the PDB is available. Moreover restraint files for XPlor and CNS calculations can be written. The program is written in Ansi C++ and the interface is Windows. All input and output files are given in Ascii format.

ROSETTA is a unified software package for protein structure prediction and functional design. It has been used to predict protein structures with and without the aid of sparse experimental data, perform protein-protein and protein-small molecule docking, design novel proteins and redesign existing proteins for altered function. ROSETTA allows for rapid tests of hypotheses in biomedical research which would be impossible or exorbitantly expensive to perform via traditional experimental methods.

 

Thereby, Rosetta methods are becoming increasingly important in the interpretation of biological findings, e.g., from genome projects and in the engineering of therapeutics, probe molecules and model systems in biomedical research. To teach a wider audience how to effectively use Rosetta, the Meiler lab holds a regular hands-on workshop. Materials from these workshops can be found below, or in several publications. (Bender et al. "Protocols for Molecular Modeling with Rosetta3 and RosettaScripts." Biochemistry 2016 and Kaufman et al. "Practically Useful: What the Rosetta Protein Modeling Suite Can Do for You" Biochemistry 2010 )

 








 

Complete tutorials for "Protocols for Molecular Modeling with Rosetta3 and RosettaScripts."

 

These are the complete tutorials (including all input files and example output files) for the protocols presented in Bender et al. "Protocols for Molecular Modeling with Rosetta3 and RosettaScripts." Biochemistry 2016. These tutorials are written to work with the Rosetta 3.6 release, using the updated talaris2014 energy function. Users of Rosetta 3.8 or later may need to use the Rosetta/tools/xsd_xrw/rewrite_rosetta_script.py script to convert the provided XMLs into the updated format. These tutorials contain step-by-step instructions for worked examples of the given protocol. A version of the tutorials with just the essential input files can be found as Supporting Information on the Biochemistry website.

Materials from the November 2018 workshop

 

Below are the updated tutorials from the Rosetta Workshop held in November 2018 at Vanderbilt University.

 

These tutorials have been updated to work with the recent REF2015 energy function, and are based on the Rosetta 2018.42.60459 weekly release. They should also mostly work with the Rosetta 3.10 release, though the 3.10 release has a bug in the InterfaceAnalyzer mover used in some of the tutorials.

 

These tutorials were covered during a 3-day hands-on workshop which included PowerPoint presentations and step-by-step instructions for worked examples.
