Synchrotron SAXS data from solutions of the bifunctional protein PaaZ in 25 mM HEPES, 50 mM NaCl, pH 7.4 were collected on the 12.3.1 (SIBYLS) beam line at the Advanced Light Source (ALS; Berkeley, CA, USA) using a MAR 165 CCD 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). Solute concentrations ranging between 1.5 and 4.5 mg/ml were measured at 10°C. One 5 second frame was collected per concentration. The data were normalized to the intensity of the transmitted beam and radially averaged; the scattering of the solvent-blank was subtracted. The low angle data collected at lower concentration were merged with the highest concentration high angle data to yield the final composite scattering curve.
