Summary0000042: optH code can increase score
Descriptionhttp://www.rosettacommons.org/content/opth-flag-makes-hydrogen-bond-energy-scores-worse [^]

The attached PDB provides a case where the score with -no_optH true < -no_optH false. This is true mostly due to the hydrogen bonding terms getting worse when optH is active (-no_optH false).
Steps To ReproduceRun PDB through scoring with/without optH. Tested in 3.4 and SVN 49568.
Additional InformationHere are the scores, clipped to the relevant terms:

    score fa_rep fa_intra_rep hbond_sr_bb hbond_lr_bb hbond_bb_sc hbond_sc
no_optH_false -911.639 129.438 2.818 -43.866 -235.198 -69.964 -49.162
no_optH_true -916.848 129.59 2.831 -43.866 -235.198 -73.02 -51.481

confirmed for trunk; user reports 3.4 vulnerable as well; unclear if it's a property of this input structure or a general problem

The official ruling was "well, packing is stochastic and occasionally packing fails to find a better conformation". Packing isn't guaranteed to lower energy if it can't recover off-rotamer atom placements by using only its database rotamers.

I think we should tweak optH to at least check if the energy is increasing and refuse to return the newly worse-packed sidechains, but as it stands it's considered not a bug but just an insufficiency of Monte Carlo & rotameric sidechains. I'm leaving the bug open in case someone wants to tweak that implementation detail...
