The Gromos parameters do not replicate lipid properties well, so I would recommend not using PRODRG for the lipids, unless your intent is to refine those parameters to make them work :)

There are numerous reports in the literature of treating the protein with Gromos96 (your choice of parameter set, I have seen almost all of them). You can also follow Chris Neale's protocol for converting the lipid.itp parameters to the format required (and compatible with) OPLS. Search the list archive and you will find it. Other useful information is here:

you may try prodrg beta to get Gromos96 ff for your lipid.

    Betreff: [gmx-users] topology for a membrane + protein

    *Hello,*

    *I am a new user of Gromacs, and I am trying to simulate a system of
    a membrane composed by POPC, cholesterol and sphingomyelin and a
    protein. I am using lipid.itp, but it includes ffgmx.itp, and I have
    read it is deprecated, so I am having a lot of problems to introduce
    the protein topology with ffG43a1 or opls, without using ffgmx.itp
    also for the protein. *

    *I would like to know which is the recommendation, because I am a
    bit confused about this, an in the case of using a different force
    field from the deprecated ffgmx for the protein, does anybody know
    where I could get the paremeters for the Berger lipids constructed
    with a more modern forcefield than ffgmx?*

    *I hope somebody could help me, I will really appreciate your advices.*

    *Best wishes, *
