Hi Tom--

Since John dealt with the other question, it seems fair that I give
this one a crack:

A stopgap possibility would be to extract the rdc protocol from the
eginputs/mef_dna/sa_internal_mef.inp. Assuming you have data from a
single experiment (one set of values for Da, rhombicity), just focus
on the JNHp class. 

A new, simple example is in the works, but is not quite yet ready. Sorry. 

A summary of the necessary steps  is:

1) initial setup
   evaluate ($ini_sani = 0.01)    evaluate ($fin_sani = 1.0)

   evaluate ($ksani  = $ini_sani)
   sani
      nres=1600

      class JNHp
      force $ksani
      potential harmonic
   {====>}
      coeff 0.0 -20.0 0.39
      @mef_dip_nh.tbl   {* dipolar coupling restraints for protein amide NH. *}
   end 

   evaluate ($sani_fac = ($fin_sani/$ini_sani)^(1/$ncycle))

2) then during cooling (at each step), adjust the associated force constant.

   evaluate ($ksani  = $ksani*$sani_fac)
   sani class JNHp force $ksani end

3) final analysis:

   sani print threshold=0.0 class JNHp end
   evaluate ($rms_sani_JNH_prot=$result)
   evaluate ($viol_sani_JNH_prot=$violations)
   evaluate ($R_JNH_prot=$result/26.7)

I hope to have a complete example in the next release of xplor-nih.

best regards--
Charles
