Amber doesn't have any simple way to do this, and it is not clear (to me!)
how such a result would be interpreted. You might want to look at the
following paper for an example of computing a ligand-protein pmf; maybe it
will help clarify some of the issues involved:
%A O. Guvench
%A D.J. Price
%A C.L. Brooks, III
%T Receptor rigidity and ligand mobility in trypsin-ligand complexes
%J Proteins
%V 58
%P 407-417
%D 2004
