Data validation


There are no models related to this curve.

Synchrotron SAXS data from solutions of wild type frameshifting pseudoknot RNA from SARS CoV2 virus in 50 mM MOPS, 130 mM KCl, pH 7.5 were collected on the 16-ID (LiX) beam line at the National Synchrotron Light Source II (NSLS-II; Upton, NY, USA) using a Pilatus / 1M SAXS detector detector at a sample-detector distance of 3.6 m and at a wavelength of λ = 0.082 nm (I(s) vs s, where s = 4πsinθ/λ, and 2θ is the scattering angle). One solute concentration of 3.80 mg/ml was measured at 20°C. Five successive 2 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.
