Hi,

I'm not sure if my answer will be correct. Anyway, I'll try to write it.

I believe the Peptide Builder works with atoms section to build the
sequences. Therefore, if your atoms section has not all atoms of all
residues they will not appear correctly.

I have been worked with seqres section on pdb. More specific I have studied
the biopython pdb module and I tried to add it in SMCRA representation.
However, this moment I don't have time to talk with Biopython project
because I have to work with my Ph.D project. Anyway, if you want to test
this project, please see [1]. In this project, there is a script  to split
pdb in chains.

I hope you enjoy it.

Best regards,
