Synchrotron SAXS data from solutions of Mammalian cell entry protein 4A (Mce4A121-400) in 50mM Tris, 500mM NaCl, 10% Glycerol, 5mM DDM, 1mM Beta-ME, pH 8 were collected on the B21 beam line at the Diamond Light Source storage ring (Didcot, UK) using a Pilatus 2M detector at a wavelength of λ = 0.1 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 55.00 μl sample at 5 mg/ml was injected at a 0.15 ml/min flow rate onto a GE Superdex 200 Increase 3.2/300 column . The data were normalized to the intensity of the transmitted beam and radially averaged; the scattering of the solvent-blank was subtracted.

Synchrotron SAXS data of the Helical+Tail domain of Mammalian cell entry protein (Mce) 4A collected at DLS beamline B21 using SEC-SAXS. The molecular mass of the protein-detergent complex was determined using Size exclusion chromatography-multi angle light scattering (SEC-MALS) coupled to refractive index measurements. The model files contain the protein-detergent molecules. The protein models were generated using iTasser and fitted against the SAXS data using the in-house program, also taking in account the micelle contribution. The aggregation number for extended model (200) is provided with the sample data and the aggregation number for the coiled-coil model is 240.
