Hi,
You can use the 'rst' command in cpptraj to generate restraints using
atom mask syntax if you're more familiar with that. For example, if
your target Mg+ is atom 1124 and you want to create a distance
restraint between it and the center of mass of atoms :3.N1 and :11.N3,
you could use the input:
rst .1124 :3.N1|:11.N3 r1 100.0 r2 105.0 r3 105.0 r4 110.0 rk2 2.0 rk3
2.0 out myrestraint.rst
Substitute appropriate values for r1, r2, r3, r4, rk2, and rk3.
Hope this helps,
-Dan
PS - The 'rst' command can be used to make angle and torsion restraints as well.
