I think it's more a question of if res.pdb has the same (or similar)
coordinates to whatever coordinates you are loading (either the pdb
or restart.coor file). The restrained_res.pdb is only used in this
case to read the force constant, NOT for coordinates.
My guess would be the coordinate file you're loading and the
coordinates in the restraint file are significantly different.
