Synchrotron SAXS data from solutions of c-Myc12 DnaseI Treated G-quadruplex in 6 mM Na2HPO4, 2 mM NaH2PO4, 1 mM Na2EDTA, 185 mM KCl, pH 7.2 were collected on the BioCAT 18ID beam line at the Advanced Photon Source (APS), Argonne National Laboratory storage ring (Lemont, IL, USA) using a Pilatus3 X 1M detector at a sample-detector distance of 3.5 m and at a wavelength of λ = 0.1033 nm (I(s) vs s, where s = 4πsinθ/λ, and 2θ is the scattering angle). In-line size-exclusion chromatography (SEC) SAS was employed. The SEC parameters were as follows: A 270.00 μl sample at 2.3 mg/ml was injected at a 0.60 ml/min flow rate onto a GE Superdex 75 Increase 10/300 column at 25°C. The data were normalized to the intensity of the transmitted beam and radially averaged; the scattering of the solvent-blank was subtracted.

C-Myc 12-G-tract promoter region annealed in potassium phosphate buffer prior to digestion with DNase I to remove duplex or single-stranded DNA features.
