Santosh,
I may be misunderstanding, but couldn't you just write a script that would
identify (or look through your coordinate file manually) the atom numbers
for the X-C-N-X atoms that make up the backbone, and then apply a harmonic
restraint for each? It would be a large restraint file no doubt, and
applying so many restraints might slow performance a bit.

Hi Santhosh,
I agree. There are a limited number of impropers and you can try. It takes a
long time to find out all the impropers and you need the connections with
them. There is not a standard way of doing this.

Hello all,
During MD simulation, I want to put additional restraints to maintain
peptide planarity.
In AMBER forcefields, i was able to do it by increasing the Kchi value for
X-C-N-X. (in the parm99.dat).
In CHARMM forcefields, as far as I know, wildcards would be accepted only if
there is no specific combination found. One way of solving this would be to
1). For every peptide bond, find all the atomtypes combination(eg: CA-C-N-CA
could be CT1-C-N-CT1 and many other possibilities) and increase the Kchi
value in the parameter file.
Is there any other simple way?
Thanks
Santhosh
