Justin,
Yes but how can I automatically select the terminal residue's alpha
carbons, without having to individually select residues?
Read the manual and some internet pages and found that you can easily
select the alpha carbons on select residues by specifying them with the
argument r_#_#_#_#_#_#... etc in make_ndx, which can then be used to
make a positional restrain file via makerestr. I am just hoping there is
a better, more automated way of doing this.
I don't know of any Gromacs tool (other than pdb2gmx) that is smart enough to
determine terminal residues on its own. If you have multiple copies of the same
molecule, then you know how many atoms are in each, so you can script a little
loop that will do it for you, otherwise I don't think there's anything that will
do this job on its own. Maybe g_select, but its capabilities and syntax are not
yet well-documented.

Thank you,
