Description

I've been using RosettaDock 5.0 to determine a ligand ability to interact with a peptide. One of the ligands, phosophocholine (PC), appears to lead to normal docking procedures. Anything else that I tried consistently fails and sends out a crash log. I can't by eye determine the difference other than may of the other ligands are ring structures like inositol. I've even tried placing them in other starting locations and it still fails. I've got at least 3 different ring ligands that were all developed independently and I'm getting the same crashing. I'm attaching examples of the ones that worked and didn't work. I need help because this was specifically requested by a reviewer.

Research direction

Start by downloading examples.docking.zip and reproducing the failures with RosettaDock 5.0, comparing the working PC case with the ring-ligand cases and their crash logs. Done should mean identifying a reproducible cause for the crashes and documenting or correcting the behavior.
