But of course. This is what mixed refinement is for - the easiest was to get it to work is probably somehow generating anisou records for all the atoms and then doing something like "egrep -v 'ANISOU|HOH'" on the pdb file. Mixed refinement will then refine only the atoms with pre-existing anisou records (e.g. non-waters) anisotropically.
