Hi all, Just to mention a side-comment relevent to Prasenjit's question:
Considering the prevalence of synchrotron-radiation-damaged disulfides, well documented in the literature, it seems that all disulfides in proteins whose data were collected at synchrotron sources should be modeled with two conformations. Therefore, if there is not an easy way to do this now, we should try to implement a good way to do this in the future.

One conformation is involved in formation of a disulfide linkage and other conformation is free. Is there any way to define the restraints so that both the conformations can be refined.
