Data validation

There are no models related to this curve.

Synchrotron SAXS data from solutions of RNA Short Tetraloop Hairpin Duplex in 200mM NaCl, 1.0mM MgCl2, 20mM Na-MES, 50µM EDTA, pH 5.5 were collected on the 16-ID (LiX) beam line at the National Synchrotron Light Source II (NSLS-II) storage ring (Upton, NY, USA) using a Pilatus3 S 1M detector at a sample-detector distance of 3 m and at a wavelength of λ = 0.092 nm (I(s) vs s, where s = 4πsinθ/λ, and 2θ is the scattering angle). One solute concentration of 2.89 mg/ml was measured at 10°C. 15 successive 1 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.
