View source for Structure Calculation Using CS-Rosetta

== '''Introduction'''  ==

The CS-ROSETTA approach (Ref. 1,2) combines the Monte Carlo based structure assembly program ROSETTA with empirical structural information obtained from backbone and <sup>13</sup>Cb chemical shift data.&nbsp; The robust CS-ROSETTA protocol is capable of successfully predicting 3D protein structures up to 15 kDa in size (Ref. 1).&nbsp; A complete description of the program along with downloads are available from the Bax laboratory web site:

=== '''Random Coil Index Prediction'''  ===

Perform flexible region prediction on the [http://wishart.biology.ualberta.ca/rci/cgi-bin/rci_cgi_1_e.py RCI Web Page]. 

RCI will take a bmrb file in the old format, as produced by CYANA 1.0 (the new BMRB format has an extra "chain" column). Unlike AutoStructure input file, the sequence field should be left in place. 

Use an init.cya file:&nbsp; 
<pre>	name:=XXXX             # Replace XXXX with NESG ID
	cyanalib                # Read the standard library
	pseudo=2              # Allows HB, HD, etc. pseudoatom names, use with CARA
	read seq $name        # Initialize</pre> 
If you are using proton list from CARA, convert it first to "dyana" format with Cyana 2.1:&nbsp; 
<pre>	read prot XXXX.prot
	pseudo=0
	translate dyana
	write prot XXXX_dyana</pre> 
Use cyana 1.0.5 to prepare a bmrb file: 
<pre>	read prot XXXX_dyana.prot
	bmrblist XXXX.bmrb
</pre> 
Make sure you change the <tt>_Chem_shift_ambiguity_type</tt> tag to <tt>_Chem_shift_ambiguity_code</tt>; RCI will report an error if you don't do it. 

Flexible N- and C-terminal tails should be removed for CS-ROSETTA calculation to reduce CPU time. Flexible loop regions will later be excluded from calculation of all-atom energy.

=== '''Generating MFR fragments on U2 cluster at SUNY Buffalo'''  ===

Copy the <tt>runCSRjob.com</tt> file into the working directory and change the number of fragments to be generated. 

Type <tt>qsub runCSRjob.pbs</tt> to submit the job into queue. This calculation takes ~2 hours for 1000 fragments for a small protein, therefore it cannot be run on a master node. 

=== '''Running CS-Rosetta on U2 cluster at SUNY Buffalo'''  ===

Go to the <tt>rosetta</tt> subdirectory. Figure out how many parallel Rosetta jobs you will need to run. Things to consider are: 

*The total number of fragments to be calculated 
*The maximum wall-time for a single job is 72 h 
*It takes ~10 min to calculate a single structure of a small protein on a single CPU

<br> Type <tt>./runRosetta.csh N</tt>, where =N= is the number of parallel Rosetta jobs 



== '''CS-ROSETTA&nbsp;Protocol at CABM'''  ==

It is assumed that cs-rosetta2.3.0, rosetta2.3.0, NMRPipe-2008 are already installed and running in your cluster (see the [http://spin.niddk.nih.gov/bax/software/CSROSETTA/index.html Bax laboratory web site] for instructions).&nbsp; In addition, the the following activation commands may need to be issued in your local shell:<br> 

• For c-shell (csh, tcsh)
<pre>source /farm/software/NMRPipe-2008/com/nmrInit.linux9.com

source /farm/software/cs-rosetta2.3.0/com/csrosettaInit.com</pre>
• For bash shell (sh, bash)
<pre>source /farm/software/NMRPipe-2008/com/nmrInit.linux9.sh

source /farm/software/cs-rosetta2.3.0/com/csrosettaInit.sh
</pre>

=== Protocol for running CS-ROSETTA&nbsp;at CABM<br>  ===

Start from a chemical shift file in bmrb 2.1 format including the complete header. &nbsp;&nbsp; <br>
