It sounds like you are trying to do "steered" molecular dynamics. You can
find an example of a steered MD simulation in $AMBERHOME/test/jar. I would
also recommend reviewing some literature to see how this type of study has
been performed in the past (in my experience, two species are usually
pulled *apart* rather than *together* due to the decrease in entropy
associated with binding events.
