Tim,
As I understand joint refinement (although Paul Langan and Marat Mustyakimov can give a better answer), the X-ray data are used to establish the non-H atom positions, and n0 data to establish H and D positions. From a practical standpoint, shelx was wonderful for defining the scattering factors of the atoms. But we had issues with the length of the input file since we had to create free variables for each of the exchangeable hydrogens. With more than 400 residues this got a little crazy.

Hi Maxime,

you could use shelxl for refinement - it uses the values from the
Neutron Data Booklet for the most abundant isotopes, and you can mix
them with your own scattering values without even looking at the code.
You can even take into account incoherent contributions by adjusting
the f' and f'' values on the SFAC command like
NEUT
SFAC C H N O S D
SFAC  FeX   0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0  4.20   0 0 11.220 1.23 56
SFAC Co

if you have e.g. Fe-54

If you want to have a joint refinement between X-ray and neutron data,
I recommend using the X-ray structure by external restraints rather
than mixing two different types of experiments. You won't e.g need to
worry about different effective hydrogen bond lengths. Published
restraints for hydrogen atoms to use with neutron data are available
from my web-site, for ligands they can be generated by the grade-server.

Regards,
Tim
