You might want to go through the gmx tutorial. All the 
steps
to get from a pdb to tpr file and then an MD simulation
are introduced.

In brief the function pdb2gmx is to generate a topology
file (topol.top) of your system, e.g. protein, then you
would solvate your system, and finally use grompp together
with a coordinate file, a topology and a file containing 
the
way you want to simulate (mdp file) ... then you'll run.

pdb2gmx does not generate a tpr file !!
