Hello Celia--

It seems that it took 3 days for your email to cross the Straights of
Florida. That's a pity.

When using Xplor-NIH, most commonly, or at least as a first step,
chemical shift values are used to generate torsion-angle restraints
using the program Talos-N (https://spin.niddk.nih.gov/bax/software/TALOS-N/). 
The restraints are then used along with distance restraints in initial
structure determination. A simple script for an initial calculation
can be found in the file xplor-nih-tutorial-2018/gb1_simple/fold_nordc.py
in this link: http://nmr.cit.nih.gov/xplor-nih/xplor-nih-tutorial.tgz

Xplor-NIH also has a few explicit energy terms which can be used to
refine directly against chemical shifts, including SpartaPot (based on
Sparta) and CSPot (based on the CamShift algorithm), but I would first
start with the standard approach for structure-determination in the
above-mentioned fold script.

best regards--
Charles
