Interpreting difference Patterson Maps in Lab today! Calculate an isomorphous difference Patterson Map (native-heavy atom). We collected 8 derivative data sets in lab –3 PCMBS –4 EuCl 3 –1 GdCl 3 Did a heavy atom bind? How many? What are the positions of the heavy atom sites? Let’s review how heavy atom positions can be calculated from difference Patterson peaks.

Patterson synthesis P(uvw)=  ? hkl cos2  (hu+kv+lw -  ) hkl Patterson synthesis P(uvw)=  I hkl cos2  (hu+kv+lw -  ) hkl Patterson Review A Patterson synthesis is like a Fourier synthesis except for what two variables? Fourier synthesis  (xyz)=  |F hkl | cos2  (hx+ky+lz -  hkl ) hkl

Difference Patterson synthesis P(uvw)=  F PH(hkl) -F P (hkl) | 2 cos2  (hu+kv+lw -  ) Difference Patterson We use isomorphous differences as coefficients, so the features in the map correspond to heavy atoms. hkl Contributions of protein atoms cancel out. Much simplified.

Patterson map= electron density map convoluted with its inverted image. P(uvw)=  (xyz)  (-x-y-z) Peak positions correspond to interatomic vectors in the unit cell. Imagine a vector connecting every pair of heavy atoms. Translate each vector so one atom of the pair is at the origin. Peak is located at position of other atom in the pair. Both forward and reverse vectors included (centrosymmetric). If n atoms in unit cell, then n 2 peaks in Patterson.

From step 3 X step3 = 0.02 y step3 =-0.70 z step3 =?.??? From step 4 X step4 =-0.02 y step4 = ?.?? z step4 = Clearly, X step3 does not equal X step4. Use a Cheshire symmetry operator that transforms x step3 = 0.02 into x step4 = For example, let’s use: -x, -y, z And apply it to all coordinates in step 3. x step3-transformed = - (+0.02) = y step3-transformed = - (- 0.70) = Now x step3-transformed = x step4 And y step3 has been transformed to a reference frame consistent with x and z from step 4. So we arrive at the following self- consistent x,y,z: X step4 =-0.02, y step3-transformed =0.70, z step4 = Or simply, x=-0.02, y=0.70, z= The x, y coordinate in step 3 describes one of the heavy atom positions in the unit cell. The x, z coordinate in step 4 describes a symmetry related copy. We can’t combine these coordinates directly. They don’t describe the same atom. Perhaps they even referred to different origins. How can we transform x, y from step 3 so it describes the same atom as x and z in step 4?

In Lab on Tuesday at noon We will determine what are the two data sets that produce the strongest isomorphous difference Patterson peaks. We have several native data sets and several Hg, Eu, and Gd derivative data sets. A different pair will be assigned to each person. Each person will calculate a difference Patterson map that they were assigned. We will record the height of the highest peak on the u=0.5 section for each map. The native-derivative pair with the highest peak will be used by the whole class. We will all interpret the difference Patterson map to calculate coordinates x,y,z for the heavy atom.

Assignment Solve the positions of the heavy atom (x,y,z) from the peaks in the map (u,v,w). –follow the procedures in the handout –write neatly –check your answer Friday, hand in your calculation. We will test the accuracy of your solution and use it to calculate phases and electron density.

Calculate Y and Z Calculate X and Y X,Y,Z referred to a common origin. If prediction lies outside Patterson asymmetric unit (0→0.5, 0→0.5,0→ 0.5) use Patterson symmetry operators to find the symmetry equivalent peak in the asymmetric unit. If the predicted peak is absent, then negate x value and re- calculate u,v,w. Predicted peak should be present if algebra is correct.

Recap Where n is the number of atoms in the unit cell, there will be n 2 Patterson peaks total, n peaks at the origin, n 2 -n peaks off the origin. That is, there will be one peak for every pairwise difference between symmetry operators in the crystal. Written as equations, these differences relate the Patterson peak coordinates u,v,w to atomic coordinates, x,y,z. Different crystallographers may arrive at different, but equally valid values of x,y,z that are related by an arbitrary choice of origin or unit cell translation.

What did we learn? There are multiple valid choices of origin for a unit cell. The values of x,y,z for the atoms will depend on the choice of origin. Adding 1 to x, y, or z, or any combination of x, y, and z is valid. It is just a unit cell translation. If a structure is solved independently by two crystallographers using different choices of origin, their coordinates will be related by a Cheshire operator.

Dear Sung Chul, I apologize for the lack of clarity. Both x,y,z and -x,y,z can satisfy the vector equations in step 6 because both the Harker sections used thus far contain mirror symmetry that is consistent with either sign of "x". In other words, the peaks in these Harker sections are related by Patterson symmetry that makes them consistent with either sign of "x" However, there are other difference vector equations in this space group (for example symop 1 - symop 5) that are not reflected by these mirror planes. These can be used to discriminate which sign of "x" is correct. Only one of these choices of the sign of "x" will be able to predict correctly Patterson peaks specified by this difference vector. My thought is that one sign of "x" is consistent with space group P43212, and the other sign of "x" is consistent with space group P Mike On 01/08/ :21 PM, 하성철 wrote: > > Dear Michael R.

In the ppt file or on the web page for “Difference Patterson Maps and Determination of Heavy Atom Sites”, I don’t know why both x,y,z and -x,y,z can satisfy the difference vector equations in the step 6. Could you explain the reason? > > Best regards, > > SungChul Ha >
