Hi Sweta,
Please don't email people off-list. If some is still active in the community then they'll get the email when you send it to the list.
As Mert similarly pointed out, unless your protein is unfolding or undergoing a large conformational change, given that you padded the protein with 12 A of water, then they shouldn't be interacting. You could also run into a problem if you have an oblong protein in a rectangular box with dramatically unequal lengths, and then the protein rotates. But all of these things seem unlikely for a stable protein in only 0.25 ns of simulation time. It's hard to say though without knowing anything about your particular system.
