In the context of your reply, attach is the image of the protein in water box. After visualization what would you suggest should I repeat the simulation with large solvent box or if I ignore it , will the results and analysis be affect Dr Nida Baig

In periodic systems, residues never "come out of the box": they just move
to the adjacent water box. Imaging tries to pack the waters into a compact
unit cell around the origin. If the entire protein cannot fit into such a
box, it will appear that some residues are outside.
If this is indeed the problem, you can (a) ignore it; (b) use a larger solvent
box.
