Synchrotron SAXS data from solutions of SSRD - Coiled-Coil Tetrahedron with Four Functional Domains (2x SpyCatcher, RFP, DCV) in 20 mM Tris, 150 mM NaCL, 3% glycerol, pH 7.5 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 = 0.123985 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 70.00 μl sample at 10 mg/ml was injected at a 0.50 ml/min flow rate onto a Cytiva Superdex 200 Increase 10/300 column at 20°C. 3000 successive 1 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 experimentally determined protein mass (SEC-MALS) is overestimated due to the presence of a fluorescent protein in the sample. The light scattering laser operates at a wavelength that excites the fluorescent protein, leading to inaccurate signal measurements.
