Dear Gromacs Users,

I am performing an all-atom simulation of protein ligand complex in
lipid bilayer , but after around 100ns, I see that the protein started
moving in one dimension in the lipid bilayer that is it is not in the
centre, I want the position of the protein fixed through out the
simulation, so pl suggest regarding this..


This is a normal consequence of diffusion in a periodic system. There is no such thing as a "center." For visualization purposes, just post-process your trajectory with trjconv.

and is it ok if I increase the position restraints for the protein by
changing the values of forces on x y and z dimensions in the posre.itp
file (below) of the protein, and if so how much can i increase the
force, so that i doesnot effect the simulation.


If you're trying to get around the diffusion issue, don't. If this is part of equilibration, all you're doing is setting up a higher energy barrier for the movement of these atoms. The difference between 1000 and 2000 should be relatively minimal, as far as the end result is concerned.
