I'd like to let the ligand diffuse freely into the receptor binding site, thus I need to fix receptor center of mass and constrain the ligand in a 3D box with the receptor enclosed so that it does not diffuse away.

This feels like a communication problem, but maybe its just on my side.
But as Jason said initially without some actual details about what you want
to do, it's hard to recommend anything. For instance, why do you want to
freeze the receptor in the first place?
