SAXS data from solutions of G-actin from Oryctolagus cuniculus (globular actin monomers) in 5 mM Tris/Tris-HCl, 0.1 mM CaCl2, 1 mM NaN3, 0.2 mM ATP, pH 8.1 were collected using a Rigaku MicroMax 007-HF instrument at the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology (MIPT; Dolgoprudny, Russian Federation) equipped with a multiwire gas-filled ASM DTR Triton 200 detector at a sample-detector distance of 2 m and at a wavelength of λ = 0.15406 nm (I(s) vs s, where s = 4πsinθ/λ, and 2θ is the scattering angle). Solute concentrations ranging between 1.3 and 1.3 mg/ml were measured at 20°C. One 3600 second frame was collected. The data were normalized to the intensity of the transmitted beam and radially averaged; the scattering of the solvent-blank was subtracted.

Approximation of SAXS data at 1.25 mg/ml using G-actin atomic model (PDB ID: 3HBT) with CRYSOL program featured good quality of fit, which indicates that the starting material is G-actin.
