Synchrotron SAXS data from solutions of Toxoplasma gondii myosin essential light chain 2 (TgELC2) bound to myosin A C-terminus in 20 mM HEPES pH 7.5, 150 mM NaCl, 0.5 mM TCEP were collected on the EMBL P12 beam line at the PETRA III storage ring (Hamburg, Germany) using a Pilatus 6M detector at a sample-detector distance of 3 m and at a wavelength of λ = 0.124 nm (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 90.00 μl sample at 10 mg/ml was injected at a 0.75 ml/min flow rate onto a GE Superdex 200 Increase 10/300 column at 20.1°C. 1500 successive 0.995 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.
