For symmetric dimers, usually two terms are used in single structure
calculations, an ``NCS'' term to force the subunits to be identical
and a distance symmetry term to enforce C2 symmetry. These terms can
be used in ensemble calculations to force each ensemble *member* to have
these properties, however this is over-restraining the system, as, in
general, only the overall ensemble requires these symmetries. In
the latest Xplor-NIH release, the distance symmetry term can be used
to restrain the average ensemble position using the setup below. There
currently is no term for the NCS portion- I happen to be working on it
now and hope to have something working by next week.

best regards--
Charles
