Dear Sir/Madam,

I use AMBER8 that possesses a license aggreement with

the School of Pharmacy at Gazi University at Ankara,
Turkey.
I used the PBSA module of AMBER8 to complete my thesis
work. Hence, I would like to cite PBSA in my thesis in
some way. While I was working through the source codes
to see how a finite difference PB solver is
implemented in the PBSA module, I have read the
following copyright notice

apply to this software
                                        
***************************************************

I was wondering if users are allowed to divulge the PB
equations (implemented in the PBSA module) with a
permission.
If yes, how could I refer PBSA?
If no, then what would be the most relevant reference
to cite PBSA?
In case a permission is not granted, then I suppose I
'll have to paste the copyright notice above in my
thesis.

I await your reply.

best regards,

Cenk Andac
