Dear Ding Wei,

The Patterson function is discussed in most crystallographic text books. I recommend the IUCr text by Giacovazzo et al., "Fundamentals of Crystallography" starting about page 423 in the third edition for a detailed discussion. If you just require a sorted peak list, shelxd is as good as any and you clearly already know how to use it. The older shelxs has further Patterson options, as do many other programs such as the CCP4 program FFT.

Best wishes, George

Dear professor George Sheldrick,
I am sorry to bother you again!
I read that letter some days ago. And now I also want to know which formula or soft can be used to calculate the patterson peaks from sca/mtz file.
Thank you for your time!

    That is a list of the strongest Patterson peaks, the ones marked
    with '*' are used
    as translation search vectors to kick-start the heavy atom
    location. x,y,z are the
    crystal coordinates of the peaks, height is the peak height, mult
    indicates how the
    peaks have coalesced because they are on special positions (in
    Patterson space)
    and length is the distance of the peak from the origin, i.e. the
    vector length.

    Dear all,
    When I used shelxc/d/e to locate the Se atoms in a protein, I
    found an output file "shelxc_fa.lst".
    Does anyone can tell me the meaning of the indicates in
    shelxc_fa.lst (red word):
    Thanks a lot!
