Synchrotron SAXS data from solutions of polΔcat-prim bound to DNA in the presence of RNA initiation factors in 20 mM HEPES, 150 mM NaCl, 5 mM MnCl2, 1 mM TCEP, 1 mM 5'-guanylylmethylenediphosphonate (GMPCPP), pH 7.5 were collected on the 12.3.1 (SIBYLS) beam line at the Advanced Light Source (ALS; Berkeley, CA, USA) using a Pilatus3 X 2M detector at a sample-detector distance of 1.5 m and at a wavelength of λ = 0.103 nm (I(s) vs s, where s = 4πsinθ/λ, and 2θ is the scattering angle). One solute concentration of 5.00 mg/ml was measured at 23°C. 500 successive 3 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.
