Dear Amber !
Thank you for the reply. I am not interested in steered dynamics , rather I
want to do a kind of targeted dynamics ,
So that I can bring the ligand to the receptor binding site from a far
distance. I have gone through the literatures ,
but I have problem in handling forces to make the decrease in distance as
linear component of time,
any insight will help for my better understanding
thank you
