The restraint file was created by making a 7 column restraint file, then
converting it with make_dist command. Here is a few lines of the file:

  13 BEN Q31 8 THY H4' 3.40
  13 BEN Q31 9 GUA H1' 4.24
  13 BEN Q31 9 GUA H3' 4.44
  13 BEN Q31 9 GUA H4' 3.00
  13 BEN Q31 9 GUA Q5' 3.06
  13 BEN Q31 9 GUA Q5' 4.54
  13 BEN H15 10 CYT H1' 4.31
  13 BEN H161 13 BEN H9 3.75

The file was then added to a trotion angle restraint file and run with the
dynamics run.
