Synchrotron SAXS
data from solutions of
Kenics GAC rRNA + Mg: Equilibrium initial
in
10 mM Na-MOPSO, 100 mM KCl, pH 6.5
were collected
on the
G1 beam line
at the Cornell High Energy Synchrotron Source (CHESS) storage ring
(Ithaca, NY, USA)
using a Pilatus 100K detector
at a wavelength of λ = 0.10972 nm
(I(s) vs s, where s = 4πsinθ/λ, and 2θ is the scattering angle).
Solute concentrations ranging between 1.2 and 1.5 mg/ml were measured
at 20°C.
20 successive
5 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.
GAC rRNA (with no added Mg) was collected for a static equilibrium point. Molecular Weight determined by Vc
