Thank you for your suggestion.

Unfortunately, as you said it works with center of mass only, and that is not sufficient for me.
I would like to apply a planer harmonic constraint on each P atom of the lipid head group, Do you have any other suggestions?

Thanks.

SMD can be used to apply a constraint along one axis only.  So you could use SMD for the lipid headgroups with a velocity of 0 and a direction of 0 0 1.  It only applies to the center of mass actually, but hopefully this will be sufficient for your purposes.  Then you can just use harmonic constraints for your protein.

Dear NAMD users,

I would like to have two kinds of harmonic constraints in my system.
The first one is constraining the protein harmonically in the x, y, and z directions.
The second one is constraining the lipids' headgroup in the z direction (PLANER CONSTRAINT).

According to what I read in the manual, only one kind can be applied.

Does any one have an idea how to do that?

Thank you.
