Reply To: Increase compactness of decoys

[Sally Ride]

Indeed, probably the constraints will be my next move if I fail with the standard approaches. At first I would like to get maximum from less biased rosetta runs though and maybe if the energy function drove structures to more compact states the representation of well folded structures could be much higher (at least that is what I hope).

Anybody knows whether -vdw_reweight, -rg_reweight and -cb_reweight options should affect the folding simulations?
