Ntr refers to the abosolute positions. I'm not sure what you mean when you
say one molecule has to be "frozen". You could use ntr=1 to keep one molecule
in a (nearly) fixed position and allow the other one to move.

You can apply SHAKE to the part of the molecule that is also restrained by ntr
restraints.
