[phenixbb] neutron scattering table for specific metal isotope

I have a question on these occupancies with respect to labile H atoms.
During the exchange process, we assume that the ratio of H to D at a given
atom will vary from 1 to 0 as deuteration increases. However, since the
scattering length varies from negative to positive (-0.3 to 0.6 fm), does
this enhance the ability to determine the occupancy? In nCNS this shows up
in the q column as -0.5 for H where 1 is a D. For Phenix where both H and D
for a given site are listed, the q values vary from 0 to 1, although the
fractional values don't necessarily add to 1. I disremember whether the q
value goes negative in Shelx.
To follow on what Ed said, if one assumes that half of the atoms in a
structure are H, and 1/3 of those are labile, then up to 1/6 of the
structure has some variability for q. If one examines a His residue and the
scattering for one proton position is zero does this mean nothing is there,
or does it mean that it has 0.66 occupancy for His? Would I really expect
to see a change on R at this site with either no proton, or 0.66 H?
