Synchrotron SAXS data from solutions of Saposin nanoparticle (SapNP) SapA:DOPC in PBS, pH 7.4 were collected on the EMBL P12 camera at the PETRA III storage ring (Hamburg, Germany) using a Pilatus 2M detector at a sample-detector distance of 3.1 m and at a wavelength of λ = 0.124 nm , the range of momentum transfer 0.100 < s < 4.600 nm-1 was covered (l(s) vs s, where s = 4πsinθ/λ, and 2θ is the scattering angle). at 10°C. 20 successive 0.050 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. The low angle data collected at lower concentrations were extrapolated to infinite dilution and merged with the higher concentration data to yield the final composite scattering curve.
