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.

Sirs:

We are attempting to refine hydrogens on a ligand (which is 100 % occupied) and
has ~ 40 heavy atoms (CNO). The data is 1.2 A, 325 AA, 83335 data points in C2.
We have refined aniso and with H riding along (Rf= 17, R = 15) in CCP4. Can we individually
refine the protons on the ligand? Let them run free with the others along for the ride?
 Or will they just run away at this
resolution? Can CCP4 even do this? Should we switch to Shelx or Phenix?
It is important to find out what the oxidation state is for the ligand at the pH
we crystallized the protein and complex.

thanks
