You can specify groups of atoms when you define a distance restraint.
When you specify a group of atoms, it uses the center of mass, I believe
(it might use the center of geometry, I'm not sure... but when both
atoms have the same mass those two are the same).
There are more details in the NMR chapter of the Amber manual, and you
can find an example in $AMBERHOME/test/nmropt/pme/distance_COM. The
second restraint in that example defines a distance between atom 1237
and the center of mass of atoms 1171, 1169, and 1175.
Hope this helps,
Jason
