It's worth noting that while what the OP is trying to can be accomplished using 
SMD, the time investment would be quite significant.  Proper implementation of 
the pull code, coupled with selective restraints on the protein (hitting a 
moving target!), and parametrization of penicillin to be at least reasonably 
stable during the simulation all present challenges, especially for a 
non-specialist.
