Dear John, Katcharin,
Amber does not have the capability to log the ESP on atoms during a
simulation. I have written a little module that does compute the ESP (no
gradients though) in sander for another algorithm, which is not in the
amber CVS tree yet. If you are interested, we can see if this does what
you need and maybe write a little bugfix which would put that capability
into Amber.
Kind Regards,
Thomas
