Do you have cys in your protein?The command line looks really
complicated. I would start with a simple one first and if it doesn’t
work out well, then try to play with it.Try this first
rosetta -design -s acdt.pdb -fixbb -ex1 -ex2 -ex2aro_only
-ndruns 100 -resfile reslist.res -try_both_his_tautomers
2. The particular protein I’m studying has many beta sheets, so I’d assume that –use_bw would give better scores, but with the above keywords + -use_bw, I get approximately the same scores.
That suggest something is wrong. Usually when you use use_bw flag, the scores will be different. But actually, you don’t have to use use_bw flag. Just don’t use it at this moment, see what happens.
3. What you mean acceptance is always zero?Is the 1000 output structures
are exactly the same?

> I am attempting to use RosettaDesign for the first time. I would like to identify mutations that will yield enhanced packing in the core of a 234 residue protein. In the manner of Dantas et al, JMB (2003) 332, 449-460, I would like to do 2 rounds of optimization: during the first round, I would like to allow the selected amino acids in the protein core to change into any other amino acid (except for CYS and GLY). During the second round, I would like to restrict the amino acid selection to those that were found in the first round.

The particular protein I’m studying has many beta sheets, so I’d assume that –use_bw would give better scores, but with the above keywords + -use_bw, I get approximately the same scores.

However, for all 1,000 mutants generated during round 1, the score is always >= -227 and the acceptance is always 0.00. Is there something important that I’m missing, such as repack or mcmin_trials? Should I expect to achieve lower scores than the wild type protein during round 1?
