Format Help

Chemical shifts:

Chemical shifts may be deposited in STAR or TALOS format.

TALOS format:

REMARK Text on this line is optional, but include at least one newline before the data sequence.

NMR-STAR format:

If they are deposited in STAR format, they should be in the 3.1 format. You can either submit a full NMR-STAR file, or just the chemical shift saveframe. If you only submit the chemical shift saveframe ensure to include the residue sequence using the "_Assigned_chem_shift_list.Polymer_seq_one_letter_code" tag. Here is an example of the minimum needed to submit in NMR-STAR format.

Fragment generation failures:

If you receive a fragment generation failed error, it is most likely due to one or more of the following

The protein may be too small for meaningful fragments to be selected.
The protein may have an unusual structure that does not have enough matching fragments.
The CS-Rosetta FAQ has more details on this type of failure.
The structure contains a non-standard residue.
The submitted data file is of an unusable format. Please reference the format help on this page.

Flexible tail exclusion

By default flexible tails are trimmed before structure generation. Sometimes the automatic process by which this happens fails, and the run proceeds with all original residues. You will receive an email if this occurs.

Constraints:

Constraints may be submitted using the Rosetta constraint format. Below are examples of NOE distance and dihedral angle constraints in the Rosetta format. You can mix constraints of different types in one file.

Caveats to be aware of:

Any line in the file that isn't a valid constraint will make the file invalid. Any comments in the file must begin with a #.
You cannot include distance restraints involving atom 1 H. Rosetta does not recognize an "H" atom in residue 1 because it is the N-terminus.
The residue numbering in the constraint file must match that in the chemical shift file.
The list of allowed atom names consists of: C, CA, CB, CEN, H, N, O
Glycine residues have no CB atom, so no constraint may refer to the CB of a glycine.
Unless you disable tail trimming, the flexible tails of your protein are excluded from the calculation. Your constraints are renumbered automatically to match, and any constraint that refers to a residue in a trimmed tail is dropped. You still number your constraints to match your chemical shift file. We will e-mail you if any of your constraints could not be used.

NOE distance constraints in Rosetta format

Here in an example:


AtomPair H  153 H   153 BOUNDED 1.700 3.300 .500 NOE
AtomPair H  153 H   153 BOUNDED 1.800 3.800 .500 NOE
AtomPair H  153 H  153 BOUNDED 1.200 2.200 .500 NOE
AtomPair H   154 H    154 BOUNDED 2.000 6.000 .500 NOE
AtomPair H   154 H    155 BOUNDED 1.500 2.700 .500 NOE
AtomPair H   154 H    155 BOUNDED 1.900 3.900 .500 NOE
AtomPair H   154 H   154 BOUNDED 1.600 2.800 .500 NOE

Column descriptions:

The first column should always be "AtomPair".
The second column is the atom name of the first atom.
The third column is the residue number of the first atom.
The fourth column is the atom name of the second atom.
The fifth column is the atom name of the second atom.
The sixth column is the Rosetta function type. You can use any of the Rosetta functions, but the simplest to use is BOUNDED.
The seventh column is the distance lower bound.
The eighth column is the distance upper bound.
The ninth column should always be .5
The tenth column should always be NOE

RDCs:

Only backbone H-N RDCs can be used and they must be in the following format:


2  N    2  H  4.800
3  N    3  H 10.220
5  N    5  H 27.130
6  N    6  H 21.608

Number your RDCs to match your chemical shift file. Unless you disable tail trimming, the flexible tails of your protein are excluded from the calculation and your RDCs are renumbered automatically to match. Any coupling for a residue in a trimmed tail is dropped, as is one for the first residue of the trimmed sequence, since Rosetta builds it as an N-terminus with no amide proton. We will e-mail you if any of your couplings could not be used.

Please reference the CS-Rosetta documentation if needed.

Disulfide bond linkages:

To specify disulfide linkages, simply include one line per linkage with the residue numbers of the two involved residues:


6 88
38 68

Number your linkages to match your chemical shift file. Unless you disable tail trimming, the flexible tails of your protein are excluded from the calculation and your linkages are renumbered automatically to match. Any linkage involving a residue in a trimmed tail, or a residue that isn't a cysteine, is dropped. We will e-mail you if any of your linkages could not be used.
