Elaborating on Bill's response -- MMPBSA.py simply parses the amber masks
from the input file. That is the sole "processing" that MMPBSA.py does for
amber masks. Those masks are dumped directly into ptraj. Note there *may*
be differences between how ptraj parses masks and how ambmask parses masks
(via the atommask module in $AMBERHOME/src/sander), but anything that works
in ptraj will work in MMPBSA.py.
