Abstract We present the results of a QCD fit to different cross sections measured in deep-inelastic scattering with the H1 detector at HERA. In a combined fit to inclusive DIS cross sections and to dijet and inclusive jet cross sections measured in the Breit frame, we determine the strong coupling constant alpha(MZ) simultaneously with the gluon and the quark densities in the proton. The result shows a large anticorrelation between alpha(MZ) and the value of the gluon density at fixed values of the momentum fraction x.
