You need ntr=1, restraintmask=':373-424,610-1198', and restraint_wt=5.0
(where 5.0 is the force constant in kcal/mol/A^2). This replaces the card
input at the bottom of the mdin file.

You can use a trajectory visualization program (like VMD or Chimera) to
confirm whether or not the atoms you are trying to restrain are moving more
than you would expect.

There should be text written to the mdout file telling you how many atoms
were restrained, but it's always good to verify expectations through
visualization.
