Amber doesn't have any code to apply C', Ca and Cb restraints, disordered or
not. Nor is there any simple way to force the simulation to have a certain
region be disordered (say as a time average). The option to "leave the ff to
do its job" is about the only option I can think of, at least for the current
Amber codes.
