you could use a positional restraint on one or more atoms
to keep the peptide in the center but I would worry about the
effect on the dynamics. I would think it would be better to let
it drift and then use ptraj to center it, then do your analysis on
that trajectory. it's hard to really say much more since you don't
say why your analysis will need it centered.
