Dear Jose

Since a protein changes it shape drastically during unfolding I
recommend you use NPT rather than NVT, even if you think the box should
  be larger than the unfolded protein. The protein may unfold via a
number of mechanisms and the box should be allowed to change its
dimensions to accommodate them.

best wishes
Andy Emerson
