core.scoring.rms_util: WARNING: CA_rmsd out of range...
#1

Hi, I have some question about how Rosetta3x read PDB files.
I was preparing my pdb files by the relax mode. The protein has 263 residues and another peptide ligand has 11 residues. From the log file, I found it recognized the 274 residues correctly, but somehow is expecting 275 residues for the rms_util and rotamers building. Below is part of the log file:

...

The program still completed normally. When I check the generated pdb file, the 275th residue is labeled VRT. As I know, it is a virtual residue, right? So why does it appear in the scoring and rotamer building step. In this case, can I trust the generated decoy?

p.s. I also tried relaxing the protein without the ligand. It has the same warning, recognizing 263 residue but expecting 264 CA.

I don't know why a virtual residue is showing up in your trajectory. I know they are used in the symmetry mode and the fit-to-density modes (which you aren't using). There may be one involved in coordinate constraints (which you also don't appear to be using). If the extra residue is last, then it probably won't cause any problems in residue matching for RMSD, so you're probably ok.

Thanks!
I did have some atompair constraints and used the option -constrain_relax_to_start_coords. Is that coordinate constraints? My concern is mainly with the rotamer building since I'm not sure what it means to build rotamers for the virtual residue. But so far the result seems ok just as you said.

Coordinate constraints are a likely culprit. Do a test run without them and see if the warning shows up?

The virtual residue should have no impact on packing: Rosetta won't bother building any rotamers for it, won't try to pack it, and since it's virtual, won't bother scoring it either.

Yes, you are right. The virtual residue disappeared after I removed the constraint_to_start_coords option. I think my problem is fully solved. Thanks a lot!
