Synchrotron SAXS data from solutions of miniCERTL with N-terminal His-tag in 20 mM Tris pH 8.5, 500 mM NaCl, 3% (v/v) glycerol, 1 mM DTT, pH 8.5 were collected on the EMBL P12 beam line at the PETRA III storage ring (DESY; Hamburg, Germany) using a Pilatus 6M detector at a sample-detector distance of 3 m and at a wavelength of λ = 0.124 nm (I(s) vs s, where s = 4πsinθ/λ, and 2θ is the scattering angle). Solute concentrations ranging between 1.7 and 6.9 mg/ml were measured at 20°C. 47 successive 0.100 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 concentrations were extrapolated to infinite dilution and merged with the higher concentration data to yield the final composite scattering curve.
