Robert,
there isn't any automated way in AMBER to build different
conformations for the copies. We have often used high
T with restraints on some regions in order to force the
copies to adopt alternate structures. I also have a utility
program on the moil-view site (morita.chem.sunysb.edu/mlv.html,
look at the bottom for Carlos's undocumented AMBER analysis program).
It will allow you to combine multiple single-copy coordinate sets into
a LES coordinate set. It will also split LES coordinates or trajectories
into multiple single-copy files, or average the copies into a single-copy
file.
I hope that helps.
Carlos
