For example, for receptor+ligand simulation in Waterbox, first I define ligand and one water near to it as QM center, but later, after running MD for tens or hundreds ps, this water molecule may go far from the ligand and have no interaction with it, while another water come to the ligand, so, is it possible to change QM center dynamically during MD? Based on distance from ligand or some other criteria instead of using residue number?

Aixiao, The simple answer is not, it cannot be done at this moment.Once
you define the QM set, it stays fixed for the duration of that run.
There are a couple of groups working on some type of implementation of
this, but at least ours will not be available until amber 10.
