Rosetta Commons aims to develop high resolution protein prediction and design software broadly available to the scientific community without reach-through or other restrictive terms. The Rosetta Commons provides for an environment of continuous sharing and collaborative development in the context of the Rosetta platform.

Our Goal

The Rosetta++ software focuses on the prediction and design of protein structures, protein folding mechanisms, and protein-protein interactions. Rosetta codes consistently exhibit repeated success in the Critical Assessment of Techniques for Protein Structure Prediction (CASP) competition as well as the CAPRI competition and additionally have been modified to address aspects of protein design, docking and structure.

Software

This software is currently licensed for free to hundreds of academic labs in 32 countries, as well as on a fee-basis to drug discovery companies. The code is also the foundation for the Human Proteome Folding Project on the World Community Grid. Revenue generated to date has been utilized for continued software development.
