Dear Anthony,

You can apply distance restraints to pairs of atoms, e.g. CA atoms in
your domains. Check the manual.

  You seem to want to let your domains move relative to each other, but

  also to deny them much internal freedom. So what you want to do is

  enforce (some of) their internal structure. Thus, use distance
 restraints.

 Thank you for your answer. But probably I don't make my point clear. I
 have a protein with two units (domains). I think that distant
 restraint will restraint the distance between the two domains or
 units... This is done by the linkers between them. I want them to move
 freely but not to change its structure, like freezing the backbone and
 let the rest to move freely.

 How I could do this?

 I think that I explain my problem better this time.

 I presuppose things about the solution because I don't want that the
 people in the mailing list think that I just have the problem and not
 try to resolve it my self. Thank you for your advise Mark I will try
 to change the way I make the questions.

 Anthony

Distance restraints to enforce their *internal structure*... So don't 
restrain all the distances, just some cunningly chosen ones inside each 
domain.

If you mean systematic search the answer is no. You can do energy 
minimization or MD.
