For many proteins, PDB files are available for the protein data bank
http://www.rcsb.org/pdb/home/home.do

Structures for hydrocarbons are fairly easy to build by hand or with a
user generated shell script.

Crystal structures for many compounds are available from the Cambridge
Crystallographic Database
http://www.ccdc.cam.ac.uk/

Packmol is useful for assembly a variety of molecules into a single
simulation cell
