Synchrotron SAXS
data from solutions of
S.aureus PstA in a ligand-free state (cyclic-di-AMP receptor)
in
20 mM Tris, 150 mM NaCl, 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 = 0.124402 nm
(I(s) vs s, where s = 4πsinθ/λ, and 2θ is the scattering angle).
Solute concentrations ranging between 2.2 and 11 mg/ml were measured
at 10°C.
80 successive
0.045 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 low angle data collected at lower concentration were merged with the highest concentration high angle data to yield the final composite scattering curve.
