Synchrotron SAXS data from solutions of DNA Ligase IIIα in 25 mM Tris-HCl pH 7.5, 150 mM NaCl, 10% glycerol, 2 mM DTT, were collected on the 12.3.1 (SIBYLS) beam line at the Advanced Light Source (ALS; Berkeley, CA, USA) using a MAR 165 CCD detector at a sample-detector distance of 1.5 m and at a wavelength of λ = 0.11 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 20°C. Three successive 0.500 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 low angle data collected at lower concentration were merged with the highest concentration high angle data to yield the final composite scattering curve.
