I guess you mean fusion of proton and neutron to give a deutron.
E=m c^2
Here mass that is converted into energy is (mass of proton + mass of neutron - mass of deutron)
So E = (mass of proton + mass of neutron - mass of deutron) c^2
E=m c^2
Here mass that is converted into energy is (mass of proton + mass of neutron - mass of deutron)
So E = (mass of proton + mass of neutron - mass of deutron) c^2

The deuteron binding energy is 2,224.52±0.20 keV. This energy is released as a gamma ray when a proton captures a neutron. See
