ab initio structure modeling
#1

dear rosetta users.

i've been trying to predict a structure of protein. it is 76aa in length. and using experiment, it is demonstrated that it has very compact  structure.
i think that it is ideal to predict structure, using rosetta. however. unexpectedly, i think that predicted structure is not perfect.
i used Ab initio application of rosetta3.12 to create about 20000 decoys. and because of no nature crystal structure, i selected one decoy of predicted decoys with the lowest total_score as nature structure. and then i rescored the 20000 decoys using score_jd2 -in:file:silent fold.out in:file:native S_00000212_60. and i drawed the total_score_vs_rms plot. the plot didn't have
funnel structures. moreover, the rescored total_score and rms are much greater than i expected.
is there any way to deal with this problems.
thanks in advance.
P.S. the related experiment related with this protein shows that it has 5 disulifide bonds. isn't it useful in predicted the correct structure?

it is flag file for ab initio prediction
