See the "water cap" section of the manual (p. 99 for Amber 9). This is not
really for a single solvent shell, however. And please bear in mind Prof.
Simmerling's warnings that you will have to work hard to ensure that you are
getting a physically reasonable simulation. Amber serves as a research tool
(allowing new methods to be tried out), but running with a small solvent shell
(while possible) has not yet received careful attention. So study the
literature carefully!
