Phases Amplitudes
The “spaces” of crystallography
• Direct/real space– Distances are in Å, Angles are in degrees
• Reciprocal space– Distances in 1/Å, Angles are different
• Patterson space– Distances are in Å , Angles are in degrees– Relative distances only, origin lost– “direction” is preserved

How to make a Patterson map:
1. Set all phases to zero
2. Square all structure factors
3. Calculate Fourier transform

Summary
• Patterson = real-space representation of all information in diffraction pattern
• “small”, high-resolution structures solved with no phases!
• Difference Pattersons for finding heavy atom sites
• Native Patterson for symmetry
