There is no mistake. What you are observing is a very common imaging
artifact. You can Google "imaging artifact amber" and read all about it
at your leisure.
The take-home message here, though, is that this is not wrong, does not
indicate a problem, and is quite common when using iwrap=1.
If you want a more visually satisfying image (i.e., the representation
where the protein is centered in the periodic box with water surrounding
it), then you can reimage your trajectory with the "autoimage" command
in cpptraj:
cpptraj -p your.prmtop -i input
where input is
trajin your_trajectory.nc
autoimage
trajout imaged_trajectory.nc
Of course, adjust the file names for whatever you have.
HTH,
Jason
