Dear Felix, I recently had the same problem. I didn't think TER records were a big deal. I never had a program that did weird thing because of missing TER records. But well, orders are orders, so we need TER records for deposition. It would be nice if all refinement programs would write those. AFAIK, Phenix already does.
Rather then putting them in manually, I ended up using pdb_extract to convert my pdb file to mmCIF. A nice bonus is that you can throw in the log files from indexing and phasing which saves a lot of typing later in the deposition process.

I am in the process of PDB deposition. I have used for refinement Refmac. I enter to refinement cycle PDB file with TER separators. After refinement they disappear. PDB validation server (option 1 with geometrical parameters report ) DEMAND TER separator. In my structure there are 28 hetero-mers. Is it sane: To demand such thing? Not to supply such thing? Do I miss something ? Does community punch in TER cards manually ?
