Dear Ning,
their is some confusion. When a small molecule crystal structure is
determined, the coordinates and data are usually submitted to the CCDC
or the COD (crystallographic open database).  The structure receives a
checkcif report which, as Phil has pointed out, is specific to small
molecule structures.
As you submitted a macromolecular structure to the PDB, the PDB code
replaces the CCDC ID during the submission process.

Best wishes,
Tim
