Synchrotron SAXS data from solutions of GAC rRNA + L11 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). In-line size-exclusion chromatography (SEC) SAS was employed. The SEC parameters were as follows: A sample at 3.2 mg/ml was injected onto a column 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.
SEC-SAXS profile of the final GAC rRNA + L11 Protein complex. Under standard equilibrium conditions, the combination of GAC rRNA + L11 protein forms a mixed state. Molecular Weight determined by Vc. SEC column = UNKNOWN. SEC sample injection volume = UNKNOWN. SEC flow rate = UNKNOWN.
