Hi,

If you would like to restrain just the COM of the molecule (and allow for
rotations and structural changes within the macromolecule) a better option
is to define the COM as a colvar and use harmonic restraints on the COM
colvar.

the colvars module: http://www.ks.uiuc.edu/Research/namd/2.8/ug/node53.html
harmonic restraints on the colvar:
