In fact, the structure visualized by VMD and choosing line as draw style is
ok, but the second structure of protein ( I mean the choosing ribbons) shows a
broken structure. How come? what does it mean?
This is really more of a VMD question (there's a mailing list for that), but
I'll take a shot anyway. Broken ribbons sometimes result from other nearby
atoms getting in the way. That is, VMD detects "bonds" based simply on a
distance search, and sometimes it guesses wrong or sometimes there's something
legitimately wrong with your structure. It could simply be that there is a
lipid atom somewhat near a protein backbone atom and it is causing the rendering
algorithm to fail.
