It can happen that the protein drifts towards one side of the box. This is
usually not a problem. The part of the protein outside the box is not in a
vacuum because the water box is replicated at infinity in all three space
directions. In fact, you will see a "hole" in the water at the other side
of the box.

The protein will be wrapped around once the geometric (or mass?) center
will have passed the box limit.
