If you're just starting out, don't use outdated software. Use the latest 
official version (2016.4) and be ready for a brand new 2018 release 
sometime soon.

There is nothing wrong with this. For every action, there is an equal 
but opposite reaction, after all.

If you want an immobile reference for whatever reason, apply position 
restraints to residue 44. You'll need to create a custom restraint file 
with genrestr and a suitable index group, or by hand.
