Dear amber users,
I'm trying to perform the calculation of Energy decomposition per-residue with Amber9. This is part of my input file (the most relevant):

#
# Energy decomposition parameters (this section is only relevant if DC = 1 above)
#
#   Energy decomposition is performed for gasphase energies, desolvation free
#     energies calculated with GB, and nonpolar contributions to desolvation
#     using the LCPO method.
#   For amino acids, decomposition is also performed with respect to backbone 
#     and sidechain atoms.
#
#   DCTYPE - Values of 1 or 2 yield a decomposition on a per-residue basis,
#            values of 3 or 4 yield a decomposition on a pairwise per-residue
#               basis. For the latter, so far the number of pairs must not 
#               exceed the number of residues in the molecule considered.
#            Values 1 or 3 add 1-4 interactions to bond contributions.
#            Values 2 or 4 add 1-4 interactions to either electrostatic or vdW 
#              contributions.
#
#   COMREC - Residues belonging to the receptor molecule IN THE COMPLEX.
#   COMLIG - Residues belonging to the ligand molecule IN THE COMPLEX.
#   RECRES - Residues in the receptor molecule.
#   LIGRES - Residues in the ligand molecule.
#   {COM,REC,LIG}PRI - Residues considered for output.
#   {REC,LIG}MAP - Residues in the complex which are equivalent to the residues
#                  in the receptor molecule or the ligand molecule. 
#
DCTYPE                2
#
COMREC                1-331
COMLIG                332-332
COMPRI                1-332 
RECRES                1-331
RECPRI                1-331
RECMAP                1-331
LIGRES                1-1
LIGPRI                1-1
LIGMAP                332-332

In my complex I have a protein binding only one small ligand and I done this job with good results but I worked with the entire protein and I wish do this calculating DC only for certain amino acids residues (in other words I want do it only for aa that mutate from the wild type protein)in order to decrease the computational time. How can I select these residues if it is possible? 
More precisely I want perform DC only for 102, 143 and 170 residues of my receptor and, obviously, for my ligand (332).
All advice will be welcome!!!
Many thanks and best regards
