SAXS data from solutions of truncated Kelch13-R539T mutant in phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.4 were collected using an Anton Paar SAXSpace at the CSIR Institute of Microbial Technology (IMTech; Chandigarh, India) equipped with a Mythen 1K detector at a wavelength of λ = 0.15414 nm (I(s) vs s, where s = 4πsinθ/λ, and 2θ is the scattering angle). One solute concentration of 1.00 mg/ml was measured at 10°C. One 3600 second frame was collected. The data were normalized to the intensity of the transmitted beam and radially averaged; the scattering of the solvent-blank was subtracted.

CAUTION: Guinier region poorly defined. CAUTION: High variance data with poorly specified errors. CAUTION: Molecular weight estimates are highly variable, in the range of 260-415 kDa. CAUTION: Data are missing from the fit of the atomistic model (bottom) to the data. CAUTION: Atomistic model-fit data are different to the primary SAXS data.
