Only if it were broken to begin with.  This is a rather vague statement; if you 
need further help, you will have to be a lot more specific about what's going on.

 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?

Thanks in advance.


Sincerely,
Shima

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.

What does trace show? (Trace is supposed to draw a vertex between each
alpha carbon). VMD has no knowledge of connectivity, it can only draw
bonds through distance calculatoin between consecutively numbered atoms.
Perhaps there is a misnumbering of the .gro file.
