Re: [AMBER] Ligand across membrane

Actually, I found the fxyz variable. The problem is that, for example, as I
did, if you define the distance between the COM of the molecule and the
lipid bilayer, you need to choose (max 1024, for pmemd, I think) atoms from
the bilayer that will allow you change the distance, and that this
distances will sample the crossing of the bilayer.
I chose the c16 and c17 carbon atoms, but it did not work as expected. So,
I was thinking if it would be possible to define a plane point distance or
if the reaction coordinate can be defined relative to the box center.
Or if you have any other suggestion, I would like to hear it.
Thank you
Fabrício
