Synchrotron SAXS data from solutions of bovine serum albumin in 25 mM MOPS, 250 mM NaCl, 50 mM KCl, 2 mM TCEP, 0.1% NaN3, pH 7.5 were collected on the SAXS/WAXS beam line at Australian Synchrotron (Melbourne, Australia) using a Pilatus 1M detector at a sample-detector distance of 2.7 m and at a wavelength of λ = 0.10332 nm (I(s) vs s, where s = 4πsinθ/λ and 2θ is the scattering angle). Scattering data are on an absolute scale (cm-1) set by reference to the scattering from pure H2O. I(0) values must be corrected for the shear flow sample cell by a 2.05 multiplicative factor. Data were acquired in SEC-SAXS mode, summed from 10 measurement frames where Rg was flat and at a maximum. The average concentration over the frames was 0.57 mg/mL, spanning values from 0.31 - 0.76 mg/mL. Sample concentrations were measured by A280 (extinction coefficient for 1 mg/mL, 10 mm pathlength; E0.1% = 0.646), corrected for the 3.1 mm path-length of the UV measurement cell. MULCh was used to calculate the partial specific volume (0.0.732 mL/g) and X-ray contrast (Δρ = 2.863e10 cm-2). The protein is a monmer in the solution conditions measured. The Multi-state (Multi-FoXS) fits to the data assumed flexible residues 183-187 and 381-384 in the loops that link the two tightly networked domains and proposed to be responsible for domain movements based upon their high temperature factors in the crystal structure.
