GPCR simulation is a very hot topic nowadays. It is worth Amber
developer to do something towards this purpose.
I strongly suggest that the developer can consider the membrane system
builder, lipids forcefiled, relaxation protocol, ligand topology tools
during development. At least, cooperating with Desmond is also a good
choice since the system builder, lipids forcefiled and relaxation
protocol is good in Desmond. The only stuff is ligand topology and Amber
got such kind of tools to complement it.
