In addition to what Jerome said, you seem to misunderstand periodic
boundary conditions. The periodic boundary is only apparent—there is no
boundary! Your simulation should work perfectly well whether you restrain
the protein to the middle or not. For visualization, you can wrap the
trajectory later using pbctools in VMD.
