Synchrotron SAXS data from solutions of Human acetylcholinesterase, covalently bound to paraoxon in 50 mM Tris/HCl, 100 mM NaCl, pH 7.4 were collected on the BL4-2 beam line at the Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Lightsource (SSRL) storage ring (Menlo Park, CA, USA) using a Rayonix MX225-HE detector (I(s) vs s, where s = 4πsinθ/λ, and 2θ is the scattering angle). One solute concentration of 2.00 mg/ml was measured at 22°C. 10 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.

The estimated experimental MW and shape of the PDDF indicate this sample represents a mixture of homodimer and monomer. X-ray wavelength: UNKNOWN.
