Hi Pengfei,

Thanks a lot for your prompt reply. In my case, I changed Cys in the pdb
file to CY1 in accordance with the ZAFF. The S-S was in the PDB file before
processed by leap. I removed the line of S-S from pdb, but when loaded into
leap, the S-S was still seen and detected by leap.

Thanks,
Nadia
