Hi,

I have genrated a membrane protein system solvated in a water box.But the water molecules are found as loosly packed. Is there any program or method to shrink a system in a water box like inflategro for lipids?

The better solution is to solvate only once you have achieved the desired dimensions for the membrane after packing the lipids. If you solvate too early, your system will be unstable or will take a long time to equilibrate, at least.

Some might suggest applying higher pressure to compress the system, but I think that will alter the lipid dynamics too much. The best solution is better construction.
