Dan,
That's the not expected result, but indeed you have a problem --
each of those subunits will have identical atoms. To resolve this, assign a
unique segment identifier to each subunit:
load 1c8e.pdb1, 1c8e
split_states 1c8e
delete 1c8e
alter all, segi = model[-4:]
rewind
save test.pdb, all
dele all
load test.pdb
The reason why you were getting a PDB file with just END is that you didn't
return the viewer ro frame/state 1 after moving all of the data to state 1.
After the above, you'll now be able to address each subunit indepently as:
hide
show ribbon
color red, segi 0001
zoom segi 0001
