Since the nonpolar energy model in Amber is quite "simple" and has some
limitations, we decided not to systematically investigate the best value
for SURFTEN. However, with the default value, we were still able to
quantitatively reproduce the melting curves of several small proteins.

The igb8 parameters were hard-coded in Amber so you don't need to specify
any special input, just using it like using igb = 2 or igb = 7. But we
recommend to use mbondi3 (specify in tleap input when you are building
topology file).
The default SURFTEN value is for ALL igb models.
