Dear Adrian,

thank you very much for your answer. I am using AMBER12 and I am not sure
that I can use COM restraint.
At the same time, if I use only a distance restraint, my molecules start to
rotate and they are not parallel each other.

In conclusion, my question is: Can I put a lot of restraints and then
consider only a distance between two atoms or is it not right?
