Hi Here is the suggestions I got from one of the docking developers.
—
use pose docking instead of regular docking in rosetta++. This can be done simply by adding “-pose” to the command line. I ran this command line with “-pose” and without “-pose” and in normal docking, dock_pert 0 0 0 does indeed create some decoys that are significantly perturbed from the starting structure. I did not see this when using pose docking.

I tried to set the -dock_pert flag to 0 0 0. This still resulted in large numbers of decoys that where rotated with more than 80 degrees and translated more than 10 A.
