        data from solutions of
        Diffusive GAC rRNA + Mg: Equilibrium initial
		
		    in 
			10 mM sodium cacodylate, 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.
