I'm not sure what name phenix or ccp4 like, but looking in $CNS_TOPPAR/dna-rna.top, I see this line: ATOM C5A TYPE=CC3E CHARGE=0.00 END so CNS likes C5A. If you want CNS to play well with other programs, just change that line in your topology file to ATOM C7 TYPE=CC3E CHARGE=0.00 END or whatever you want. kmj On 11/1/08 8:13 PM, Raja Dey wrote: > Dear Friends, > I am tired of renaming an atom name every time I want to switch > among the programs cns, phenix and ccp4 particularly for a carbon atom > C5A of Thymine given below.
