Abstract
IN recent issues of NATURE, letters have appeared in which claims of a new method of analysis of Patterson vector diagrams are put forward with particular reference to those of crystalline insulin1. Substantially this method is not new to crystallographers; it is implied in Patterson's original paper in 19342, has been used in a number of published analyses3, and has been taught to students in Cambridge for the past three years.
