I haven't written any- I have not used the generalized born term (XPLOR
terms GBIN or GBSE) during refinement. You should certainly consult the
relevant literature:

analytical formulation of continuum electrostatics with simple models
of the hydrophobic effect. J Comp Chem (1999) 20, 322-335.

Probably, but I have not done so. Do note that it seems that the Amber
force field is usually used with GB.
