Hi Khatcharin,

I think I am trying to do something similar to what you describe. I
don't believe AMBER can currently compute the electrostatic potential
on specified atoms by manipulating input flags, but it obviously does
compute the potential as part of the energy computation during normal
execution.

Specifically, I am trying to modify a version of AMBER10's sander
module to also write out the electrostatic potential and its first and
second derivatives (which includes information on the electric field
and its gradient) at specified atoms when running with a fixed-charge
forcefield using PME. We're interested in using this to compute
spectroscopic observables like FTIR spectra, but you may find this
useful for your own purposes as well.

Does this sound like it would be helpful to you? I can let you know
when we have something working (hopefully in the next few days), and
then can give you a patchset to try. We couldn't really support it,
but it might at least help you get started.

Cheers,

- John
