Synchrotron SAXS data from solutions of rabies virus CVS Phosphoprotein Isoform 3 in 25 mM HEPES, 150 mM NaCl, 1 mM TCEP, pH 7.4 were collected on the SAXS/WAXS beam line at the Australian Synchrotron (Melbourne, Australia) using a Pilatus3 S 2M detector at a sample-detector distance of 3.3 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) co-flow (sheath) SAS was employed. The SEC parameters were as follows: A 50.00 μl sample at 5 mg/ml was injected at a 0.40 ml/min flow rate onto a GE Superose 6 Increase 5/150 column at 22°C. One 1 second frame was collected. The data were normalized to the intensity of the transmitted beam and radially averaged; the scattering of the solvent-blank was subtracted.
