Synchrotron SAXS data from solutions of the envelope of Col H PKD-PKD-CBD complexed with mini-collagen in 50 mM Hepes 100 mM NaCl 5 mM CaCl2, pH 7.5 were collected on the 12.3.1 (SIBYLS) beam line at the Advanced Light Source (ALS; Berkeley, CA, USA) using a Pilatus3 X 2M detector at a wavelength of λ = 0.113 nm (I(s) vs s, where s = 4πsinθ/λ and 2θ is the scattering angle). Solute concentrations ranging between 1 and 5 mg/ml were measured at 10°C. 33 successive 0.300 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 and the different curves were scaled for protein concentration. 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.
Scattering for samples with concentrations of 4 mg/ml, 3 mg/ml and 1 mg/ml were averaged. Each of the average scattering curves are used to extrapolate towards infinite dilution. The scattering curve at infinite dilution was used to generate the SAXS model that represents the averaged spatial disposition of the complex in solution (DAMFILT).
