Santosh,
I may be misunderstanding, but couldn't you just write a script that would
identify (or look through your coordinate file manually) the atom numbers
for the X-C-N-X atoms that make up the backbone, and then apply a harmonic
restraint for each? It would be a large restraint file no doubt, and
applying so many restraints might slow performance a bit.
