PyRosetta - Interactive Molecular Modeling

PyRosetta is an interactive Python-based interface to the powerful Rosetta molecular modeling suite. It enables users to design their own custom molecular modeling algorithms using Rosetta sampling methods and energy functions. PyRosetta is available through http://pyrosetta.org/.

Development Background

Rosetta development began in the laboratory of Dr. David Baker, who is a Howard Hughes Medical Institute investigator as well as a professor in the Department of Biochemistry. Rosetta development is guided by the members of the Rosetta Commons, which is a collaborative research and software development environment of multiple universities and research institutes. Funding for the development of Rosetta has been provided by the Packard Foundation, the National Science Foundation, and the National Institutes of Health.
