The groups are not being recognized as amino monomers.

This is because the order of the ATOM records in the groups is not what
Jmol expects:

ATOM      1  C   GLU     1       8.619  58.170  21.723  1.00
ATOM      2  CA  GLU     1       9.227  58.724  20.432  1.00
ATOM      3  CB  GLU     1       9.279  57.641  19.354  1.00
ATOM      4  CD  GLU     1       7.964  55.848  18.173  1.00
ATOM      5  CG  GLU     1       7.963  57.274  18.736  1.00
ATOM      6  N   GLU     1      10.610  59.142  20.749  1.00
ATOM      7  O   GLU     1       9.305  57.498  22.488  1.00

Files from the PDB have the first 4 atoms of each group as: N, CA, C, O

Jmol expects this ... otherwise they do not get recognized as
AminoMonomers ... and they don't get built into AminoPolymers ... so they
don't get recognized as 'protein'.
