Synchrotron SAXS data from solutions of Human Double-stranded RNA-binding protein Staufen homolog 1 with truncated RNA-binding domain 2 and truncated RNA-binding domain 3 and truncated Staufen-swapping (ΔSSM) motif in 50 mM Tris-HCl, 150 mM NaCl, 3.6 mM β-mercaptoethanol, pH 8 were collected on the EMBL P12 beam line at PETRA III (DESY; Hamburg, Germany) using a Pilatus 6M detector at a sample-detector distance of 3 m and at a wavelength of λ = 0.124026 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 95.00 μl sample at 7.4 mg/ml was injected at a 0.60 ml/min flow rate onto a GE Superdex 200 Increase 10/300 column at 20°C. 63 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.
