There will be a harmonic restraint applied to a reaction coordinate. The
force constant will be 200 (kcal/mol)/A^2 and the center of the
restraint will move from -6.09 to -2.0 in nstlim steps (nstlim is in the
main namelist)

The reaction coordinate is defined as the sums and differences between
FOUR distances.
RC = -d1 + d2 - d3 -d4

d1 = distance between atoms 4536 and 3483
d2 = distance between atoms 3483 and 3482
d3 = distance between atoms 3482 and 3487
d4 = distance between atoms 3488 and 19505

Is this clear ?
