Re: [AMBER] defining a progress variable to be the z-component of some atom or group of atoms?

Hi David,
If it is a COM distance variable, then you could just use the fxyz variable
as Callum shows in his tutorial (
https://github.com/callumjd/AMBER-Umbrella_COM_restraint_tutorial). If the
reaction coordinate is complex, I think an alternative is the NFE toolkit,
but I have never used this one mysel (
https://ambermd.org/tutorials/advanced/tutorial31/index.html).
Hope it helps,
