Dear Guillaume,
I don't think you can mix an older "GROUP" input with new restraintmask
option. Also, I would use dihedral restraints (see chap. 5.9 in amber8
manual) for freezing internal coordinates of your substrate.
Furthermore, I'd use positional restraints (ntr=1, ibelly=0) and not
belly for the region you want to restraint. The way I understood it,
you'd probably want this selection for the restrained region:
restraintmask=':442>:8.0' (don't forget to apply bugfixes for amber8,
especially bugfix.7 that deals with atom selections based on distance).
You might want to post your input file once you think you put in all the
changes suggested above...
