seth,
this may come as a surprise to you, but proteins _do_ diffuse
in membranes. if you want to fix it you could use a weak restraint,
to the center of mass of the protein that is tied to a fixed point
in space.
it has nothing to do with the wrapping flags in NAMD.
to re-center the protein after the fact you could use
pbc wrap with using the protein as reference coordinate.
check out the pbctools plugin docs for details.
cheers,
axel.
