SAXS
data from solutions of
M protease of SARS CoV-2 with JL-352 compound
in
50mM Tris, 200mM NaCl, pH 8
were collected
on the
Anton Paar SAXSpace instrument (CSIR-Central Drug Research Institute, Lucknow, India)
using a Mythen2 R 1K detector
at a sample-detector distance of 0.3 m and
at a wavelength of λ = 0.154 nm
(I(s) vs s, where s = 4πsinθ/λ, and 2θ is the scattering angle).
One solute concentration of 5.00 mg/ml was measured
at 10°C.
Two successive
1800 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.
M protease of SARS-CoV-2 was purified using Ni-NTA affinity columns, and further purification was done using Size Exclusion Chromatography. The purified protein was then incubated with JL-352 for 30 minutes before SAXS analysis.
