I read that it doesn't matter if the protein moves and even protrudes
the box. It's OK, but there is a question here; why doesn't the box
move rather than the protein?
The box could move, but it can't accelerate, else it wouldn't be an
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inertial_frame_of_reference. I suspect the
laws of motion necessary for the simulation to take place in the frame
of the (accelerating) motion of the protein COM are more complex than
those that take place in a simple inertial frame. So that is not done -
which also avoids having to force the user to choose their inertial
frame or GROMACS guessing what frame they want.
Is it possible for box to be defined every step?, then the protein
would stay in the center of the box.
The box is defined at every step. If you want your solute to have a
given relationship to the box every step you have to post-process your
trajectory as my earlier link told you.

Dear gmx friends,
I put a protein in a simulation box filled of water molecules and
entered the mdrun command. After the simulation, I found the protein
near one of the edges of the box and not in center. What is the
problem? Anyone may suggest me?
Does it mean that the simulation is meaningless?
I expect the protein to stay in the center of box and goes unfold by
passing the time.
