Synchrotron SAXS data from solutions of the Ric8A-miniGi complex in 20 mM Tris, 150 mM KCl, 5 % glycerol, 1 mM TCEP, pH 8 were collected on the BioCAT 18ID beam line at the Advanced Photon Source (APS), Argonne National Laboratory storage ring (Lemont, IL, USA) using a Pilatus3 X 1M detector (I(s) vs s, where s = 4πsinθ/λ, and 2θ is the scattering angle). In-line size-exclusion chromatography (SEC) SAS was employed. The SEC parameters were as follows: A 250.00 μl sample at 10 mg/ml was injected at a 0.90 ml/min flow rate onto a GE Superdex 200 Increase 10/300 column . The data were normalized to the intensity of the transmitted beam and radially averaged; the scattering of the solvent-blank was subtracted.
Purified Ric8a1-492 was mixed with excess of purified miniGi and the complex was purified by size-exclusion chromatography (SEC). The complex fractions were pooled together, concentrated and additional SEC-SAXS data was collected as described above. X-ray wavelength = UNKNOWN.
