No. This is a highly unusual calculation. Periodic boundary conditions are used to avoid surface effects in explicit solvent simulations. Since implicit solvent simulations do not have solvent boundaries (the continuum goes on forever), there is rarely a reason to use periodic boundary conditions.

Good luck,
