Hello everyone,
I am trying to relax a structure while also applying constraints on spesific locations in order to force these locations to be a spesific distance appart.
so far my code is as follows:
constraints = pyrosetta.rosetta.protocols.simple_moves.ConstraintSetMover()
constraints.constraint_file('constraints.cst')
constraints.add_constraints(True)
constraints.apply(pose)
scorefxn = get_fa_scorefxn()
relax = pyrosetta.rosetta.protocols.relax.FastRelax()
relax.set_scorefxn(scorefxn)
relax.constrain_relax_to_start_coords(True)
relax.constrain_coords(True)
relax.apply(pose)
pose.dump_pdb('structure.pdb')
I think what I wrote is complete non-sense because it is not working at all. Can someone guide me to the correct way to preform relax with constraints in PyRosetta?

I believe the thing you're missing is that you're running with a scorefunction which has the constraint weights turned to zero. You both need to set the constraints in the pose *and* enable the constraint terms in the scorefunction. You can check this with the show() function of the ScoreFunction object. It should show the scoreterms with non-zero weights. If the constraint terms aren't there, you'll need to enable them.
To do this, you can use the _cst version of whichever scorefunction you're using. (e.g. 'talaris2014_cst' or 'ref2015_cst'). You can't use the conveince function for this, but you can call the scorefunction factory directly:
Alternatively, you can set the appropriate weights (atom_pair_constraint, angle_constraint, coordinate_constraint, dihedral_constraint, and res_type_constraint) to 1.0 using the scorefxn.set_weight() function -- note that this uses a core.scoring.ScoreType object (found under the `core.scoring` namespace), rather than a string.
