Hello,

See the description in the amber manual (same section describing the
generalized distance restraint) regarding making one of the values for iat
negative and defining the corresponding igr variable. For instance, let's
assume that residues 4 and 5 have atom numbers 10-20 and the ligand has atom
numbers 95-100, to define the center of geometry (not COM, because it's not
mass-weighted, according to the manual, but it's close if you neglect
hydrogen atoms)... the restraint file then becomes:

# distance restraint between res4,5 - drug
&rst iat=-1,-1, r1=0.0, r2=10.0, r3=10.0, r4=100.0, rk2 =1.0, rk3 = 1.,
igr1=10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20, igr2=95,96,97,98,99,100 /

Hope this helps,
Jason
