Thank you for your reply.
I have another thing to know, I want to apply restraints on lipids and
water molecules too, so what will be the tcl script for that.
I use the below script by which only the protein backbone is restrained:
set all [atomselect top all]
set sel [atomselect top "protein and backbone"]
$all set beta 0
$sel set beta 0.5
$all writepdb restrain_ca.pdb
Should I change the value of $all set beta 0 to $all set beta 1.0 ?
Please help.
