X-ray synchrotron radiation scattering data from solutions of Suppressor of Copper Sensitivity C protein (ScsC) from Caulobacter crescentus in 25 mM HEPES 150mM NaCl, pH 7.5 were collected on the SAXS/WAXS beam line of the Australian Synchrotron (Melbourne, Australia) using a 2D Photon counting Dectris/Pilatus3 S 2M pixel detector (s = 4π sin θ/λ, where 2θ is the scattering angle). In-line size-exclusion chromatography (SEC) with a Superdex 200 5/150 GL column and sheath flow was used. Approximately 60 uL of protein at 5.6 mg/mL was injected onto the column. Twenty eight successive 1 second frames were averaged across the elution peak, where the radius of gyration appeared stable, and the average concentration across this range is estimated to be approximately 1.7 mg/mL (not measured). The data were normalized to the intensity of the transmitted beam and radially averaged and the scattering of the solvent-blank was subtracted. The models and corresponding fits include those derived from rigid-body modelling using CORAL (top) and a representative ensemble of four trimeric ScsC structures determined using ensemble optimization method (EOM). The Rg and Dmax distributions derived from EOM are included in the full entry zip archive.
