Synchrotron SAXS
data from solutions of
Wild-type chalcone isomerase, ligand-free
in
50 mM sodium phosphate, pH 6.8
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 = 0.124 nm
(I(s) vs s, where s = 4πsinθ/λ, and 2θ is the scattering angle).
Solute concentrations ranging between 1.4 and 15.3 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.
