...tinker (http://dasher.wustl.edu/tinker)
says rborn(Br) = 1.9 A and gives no scaling factor (which means
default=0.8).
If you'd like to check, tinker hast lots of GB parameters
in 'ksolv.f', which is located in the source directory.
Beware, those parameters are not all equal to those that come with AMBER,
maybe you should experiment a little, comparing to some FDPB calculations
to be sure.
hope it helps
greetings
Andreas
