PDB format dictates that TER records are present at the end of a polymer chain. Chain breaks or non-sequential numbering do not introduce TER records. A TER record is required between the polymer and non-polymer chain - even with same chain ID. TER records should not be between non-polymers...
Of course, there have been many different flavors of PDB files produced by different programs... http://www.wwpdb.org/documentation/file-format-content/format33/sect9.html#TER On 11/28/2016 10:31 AM, Spencer Bliven wrote: > It would be nice to have a setting that adds TER records only where the chain > or segi change (as opposed to whenever the residue numbers are > non-sequential).
