you say you are using "Amber" but you don't say which program. For large
systems, pmemd is much more efficient than sander. Also keep in mind that
the tutorial options selected may not be appropriate for production systems.
You should be looking for peer-reviewed and successful applications on
similar problems and follow their methods. Tutorials are usually intended to
help you learn the program and execution, and not to suggest best practices
in terms of force field and model choices, and so on. GB models have well
documented weaknesses (and benefits), and you need to think carefully about
the potential impact on your project.
