Dear Fatima,
That paper used the amber force fields and equations but NOT the amber
program as sold. In fact it used a home-made interface
between MM and Siesta for QM.

So, sander out-of-the-box cannot do what you ask for.

I was the lead author in the paper you mention, so we are taking the
code from that original program and putting it into amber to be able to
do 2-D pullings, but it is not yet done.

Adrian
