Here post your question  
I have got the .xtc file and .gro file,but when I import the .gro file in VMD,it couldn’t show the molecular but only to see the protein.What should I do if I want to show the protein as Newribbon and show the molecular as stick?

Under graphical representations, you can use ‘Create Rep’ to show different parts of the system under different drawing methods, select the atoms for the protein for one of the reps and the other molecule for the other and select different drawing methods for the representations
