Hi Wei Don't forget that a Patterson has space-group symmetry too so there will be symmetry-related peaks that may not be listed by the peak-search program. The Patterson space group is this case is Cmmm, so a peak at (0,2y,2z) will also occur at (1/2,1/2+2y,1-2z) (as well as 6 other positions in the unit cell). Bearing this in mind I think you'll find that the peak ATOM2 is your missing Harker vector. There are a number of programs that will do this analysis completely automatically for you (I wrote one 'VECSUM' for CCP4 many years ago, but there are probably better ones around now). However for the novice I would recommend doing it 'by hand' as you are doing it - it's very instructive!
