Without seeing the input pdb, my guess is that the two monomers are
differentiated by different entries in the chain column of the input
pdb, and not by entries in XPLOR's segment entry (columns
73-76). pdb2psf doesn't currently recognize the chain entry (this will
be fixed). For now, the best workaround is probably just to add
different segment entries to your pdb file.

best regards--
