Synchrotron SAXS data from solutions of Unlabeled Importin Beta Binding Domain (IBB) from importin subunit alpha-1 with denaturant in PBS, 10 mM DTT, 6 M urea, 0.3 M KCl, pH 7.4 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 m and at a wavelength of λ = 0.1 nm (I(s) vs s, where s = 4πsinθ/λ, and 2θ is the scattering angle). One solute concentration of 10.00 mg/ml was measured at 23°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 protein contains a penultimate non-canonical amino acid p-acetylphenylalanine (207 Da) that is represented as U (selenocysteine, 168 Da) in the amino acid sequence for the entry. Therefore, the calculated MW from sequence (MW(expected)) must be adjusted accordingly (ca. 40 Da).
