Dear Charles,
Thanks you very much for your kindness!
I am now sending you several files including seq, pdb, upl of the cluster which
I used in Cyana2.1 (i.e. connectivity between Cd and SG). The protein is
actually the alpha-domain of Metallothionein3, and the structure was formed
mainly through the Cd4-Cys11 cluster with each Cd binding to four SG from
cysteins and some sulfur bridged between Cd.
  A few more questions here. When using eginput/gb1_rdc/refine.py, do I also
need to use noe constrains or just rdc constraints since I will start from my
initial structures? How to get a good set of Da and Rh? I tried to run
grid_search.py but always get error with input pdb possibly due to wrong
format? I also tried fitting RDC data using MODULE and get Aa and Ar but not
sure how to convert into Da (Rh=Ar/Aa). I have tested another protein using
eginput/protG/anneal.py script to refine my structure with RDC and NOE
constrains, should the result similar to that from eginput/gb1_rdc/refine.py. I
will try later.
Sorry for so many questions!

Looking forward to your suggestion!
Best wishes,

Hongyan
