Dear AMBER users
Has anyone already found a trick to suppress force evaluation on a belly 
group during an AMBER minimization/dynamics?
What I would like to do is a multi-ligand directed energy refinement of a 
protein active site as following:
1. fitting all ligands (say 10) according to known pharmacophoric patterns 
and putting these 10 ligands in a belly group
2. minimizing the protein with  the 10 ligands docked in the binding site 
(according to expl. data)
Step 2 implies that the intermolecular interactions  between molecules 
defining the belly group are not calculated. One way of doing it would be 
to supress evaluation of forces on the belly atoms.
Is that possible with the current code ?
Thanks for your answers
