Rosetta User Guide

3.0 release

Rosetta 3 is a library based object-oriented software suite which provides a robust system for predicting and designing protein structures, protein folding mechanisms, and protein-protein interactions. The library contains the various tools that Rosetta uses, such as Atom, ResidueType, Residue, Conformation, Pose, ScoreFunction, ScoreType, and so forth. These components provide the data and services Rosetta uses to carry out its computations.

The major library is named "core", which contains conformational representations of polymer structures, their constituents, the capability to alter the conformations of those structures, and the ability to score those structures with the Rosetta scoring algorithms. It also contains the command-line options system.

The next most important library is "protocol". It contains higher-level classes and functions needed by Rosetta subprotocols. All the protocols are wrapped by Mover objects, which unifies their interface and integrates them with the job distributor for use on clusters. This Mover interface also allows you to use pre-developed protocols by just calling the corresponding mover, making it easier to create new protocols.

Rosetta3 also provides a component named "apps". It contains source code for released applications.
