Data validation


There are no models related to this curve.

Synchrotron SAXS data from solutions of poly(ADP-ribose)polymerase 1 (Af-PARP1) with N-terminal dBRCT domain truncation:5'P nicked DNA complex in 20 mM HEPES, 150 mM NaCl, 2 mM TCEP, 2.5% (v/v) Glycerol, pH 7.5 were collected on the B21 beam line at the Diamond Light Source storage ring (Didcot, UK) using a Eiger 4M detector at a sample-detector distance of 3.7 m and at a wavelength of λ = 0.09464 nm (I(s) vs s, where s = 4πsinθ/λ, and 2θ is the scattering angle). One solute concentration of 3.70 mg/ml was measured at 15°C. 600 successive 3 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.
