You are throwing away all your velocities.. (irest=0, ntx=1)

 ...and forcing it to 300K.
No wonder you are losing structure.
If everything is warmed, try ntx=5, irest=1.
If not warmed, it should be warmed gradually and/or with restraints
on your solute.

It would be less fluctuation affecting the coordinates. Subtle,
but might make a difference if you had a sensitive structure. Some
believe in this method for general production runs.
It's not so important compared to the issue above.
