CopyRotamerMover

Description and Example

This is a very simple mover that copies the residue identity and/or sidechain conformation from one residue in a pose (the template) to another (the target).

<CopyRotamer name="(&string)" template_res_index="(&int)" target_res_index="(&int)" copy_identity="(true &bool)" copy_torsions="(true &bool)" />

For example, the following script copies both the side-chain identity and conformation from position 32 to position 45:

<ROSETTASCRIPTS>
	<MOVERS>
		<CopyRotamer name="copy_rot" template_res_index="32" target_res_index="45" />
	</MOVERS>
	<PROTOCOLS>
		<Add mover="copy_rot" />
	</PROTOCOLS>
</ROSETTASCRIPTS>

Currently, the mover can only copy side-chain torsional degrees of freedom. Side-chains with non-ideal bond angles and bond lengths do not necessarily have their geometry copied exactly. If necessary, support can be added for copying bond angle and bond length degrees of freedom.

Options

Option	Required input?	Description
template_res_index	YES	The index, in Rosetta pose numbering, of the residue from which the side-chain will be copied. This residue is not altered by this operation.
target_res_index	YES	The index, in Rosetta pose numbering, of the residue to which the side-chain will be copied. The identity and/or conformation of this residue's sidechain is altered by this operation.
copy_identity	NO (defaults to true)	Should the identity of the template residue by copied to the target? Default true. If false, only side-chain torsion values will be copied. This can create strange results if the template and target residues have different numbers of side-chain chi angles, or if they have significantly different side-chain structures.
copy_torsions	NO (defaults to true)	Should the side-chain dihedral values of the template residue be copied to the target? Default true.
