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.

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. What name I should give to this atom specially for cns? Is it C7 or C5A or C5M?

Is there any common name of this atom which can be used for all the programs?
Thanks for any suggestion.
