Synchrotron SAXS data from solutions of Lysozyme amyloid fibril (LAF) in 0.2 M glycine-HCl, 80 mM NaCl, pH 2.2 were collected on the EMBL P12 beam line at the PETRA III storage ring (DESY; Hamburg, Germany) using a Pilatus 6M detector at a sample-detector distance of 3 m and at a wavelength of λ = 0.123 nm (I(s) vs s, where s = 4πsinθ/λ, and 2θ is the scattering angle). at 20°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.

LAF solution commenced with the dissolving of the hen egg white lysozyme (HEWL) powder in the buffer solution that consisted of 0.2 M glycine-HCl, with a pH of 2.2 and 80 mM NaCl, settling down at the concentration of 5 mg/mL. The buffer solution was conditioned at the acidic pH level of 2.2 for breaking down of the HEWL powder within a short period of time relative to the naturally occurring process.. In-air SAXS measurements. Set-up: Temperature controlled capillary holder. LAFs are too large to be properly resolve the Guiner range with a camera length of 3.0 m and 10 keV.
