Hi Kenneth, ...1.2A resolution... refinement of individual parameters for a hydrogen atom... Hm.. Are you refining against neutron diffraction data? Anyways, to answer your question: technically yes, you can refine individual parameters of any selected atom(s) against X-ray or neutron data (or both datasets simultaneously) in PHENIX, no problem. For more details or any help, please contact me off-list or at PHENIX mailing list. Good luck! Pavel.
