[gmx-users] protein near the edges of simulation box

[Shima Arasteh]

Thanks.
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? 

Is it possible for box to be defined every step?, then the protein would stay in the center of the box.


 
Sincerely,
Shima
