Fig 1. RosettaMP directly extends the architecture of Rosetta3.

Every Rosetta protocol requires at least these three main objects for modeling or design tasks (light blue): a Pose to a represent a biomolecule, a ScoreFunction to rank modeled structures and sequences, and Movers to sample new conformations of the Pose. RosettaMP directly extends this architecture (blue) by adding an element to the Pose representing the membrane bilayer, restructuring the original membrane ScoreFunction to rely on this membrane representation, and implementing a new set of Movers to sample the conformational search space available in the membrane bilayer.
