I don't know if you can do it in Refmac, but cns definitely works well on refine multiple ligands. What you need to do is to give different segids to different ligands and omit their interactions. I had the same problem before and wrote the whole procedure to solve the problem in the following paper.

Liu et al, biochemistry 2005, 44(8):2982-92.

Hi,
I wonder if there is someone out there who knows a way to trick Refmac into doing simultaneous refinement of somewhat superimposable but structurally different ligands (both of which partially occupy the same site). For example if a substrate and an intermediate are present or an intermediate and a product. Would making a library file for a "macro"-ligand consisting of 2 separate parts (separate connectivity, partial occupancy, etc) be a reasonable approach or is there an easier/proper way to refine partially present ligands?
Will be grateful for any suggestions.
Thanks,
Lena
