In addition to the above, which provide excellent background reference, consult 
the list archives for more stepwise instructions.  What you will need to do is 
run pdb2gmx on *only* your protein, then modify the resulting topology to 
include parameters for dmpc.  Again, the archive documents how to do this, it 
just takes some patience and persistence to find the right information.
