Synchrotron SAXS data from solutions of Integrin beta4, fragment of the cytoplasmic region encompassing the third and fourth FnIII domains in 20 mM Sodium Phosphate 150 mM NaCl 5% glycerol 3 mM DTT, pH 7.5 were collected on the EMBL P12 beam line at the PETRA III storage ring (DESY; Hamburg, Germany) using a Pilatus 2M detector at a sample-detector distance of 3.1 m and at a wavelength of λ = 0.12 nm (I(s) vs s, where s = 4πsinθ/λ, and 2θ is the scattering angle). Solute concentrations ranging between 1.5 and 48.6 mg/ml were measured at 10°C. 20 successive 0.050 second frames were collected. The data were normalized to the intensity of the transmitted beam and radially averaged; the scattering of the solvent-blank was subtracted. The low angle data collected at lower concentrations were extrapolated to infinite dilution and merged with the higher concentration data to yield the final composite scattering curve.

Combined use of SAXS, crystal structures, site directed spin labeling, double electron-electron resonance (DEER), and molecular modeling to analyze the structure of FnIII-3,4.
