You need to choose a solvent (hexane? ocatanol? benzene?) that matches some
experiment, or that you think is "hydrophobic". Note that Amber assumes
by default that the N- and C-terminal residues are charged, which may not be
the case in non-aqueous solvents. So unless the end residues are not
important to you, you will have to learn how to build neutral residues for
your termini. You should expect a significant learning curve: Amber was
primarily designed for aqeuous simulations, and setting up other types of
environemnts requires a good understanding of how the program works.
