I hope you're using a larger van der Waals distance (0.24nm or so)
when inserting the lipids.
broke down the problem, that is, to run md simulation for the
protein molecule only, and in vacuum. Still no improvement. Although
all the distances in the minimized structure are visually proper,
the system exploded.
If you can't run the protein even in vacuum, then the problem is
either in your MD parameters, starting co-ordinates or some simple
mistake somewhere. Since the .mdp files you posted seem ok, my bet is
on the starting co-ordinates, just as Xavier proposed.
Could you post the system topology (.top) and the protein topology
(.itp), so we can rule out any mistakes in those? You should also
double check whether you have close contacts between some atoms in the
protein; e.g. in VMD this is easily done using the "dynamic bonds"
representation.
