Hi,

I might be missing something here. If you are using a periodic system
then reaching the edge of the box is irrelevant, unless the protein
starts to interact with any of its copies. As Jerome mention above you
should just wait some time for the protein to
break, which will depend in the actual temperature you use, the
stability of your protein, etc.
