.Ylenia: The only option that is currently supported in Amber is to use distance restraints like in umbrella sampling. Note that group restraints are currently not available in the GPU-accelerated pmemd.cuda code, so you are limited to pmemd and pmemd.MPI.
.Brian: It is correct that SHAKE is only available for hydrogen bonds or a set of bonds between atoms. It is currently not possible to constrain molecules or groups of molecules with SHAKE.
.Pierpaolo: Is that all that you changed in the source code? I think this should be added as an official option to Amber so that any combination of X Y Z restraints can be selected.
All the best,

Subject: Re: [AMBER] Setting up z-constraint
Dear Ylenia,
I had almost the same problem and I partially solved it for the pmemd cpu
version in the following way: http://archive.ambermd.org/201405/0596.html
(The changes in the link are now working...I just made some mistakes
recompiling the program).
Regards,
Pierpaolo
