Synchrotron SAXS data from solutions of a fAfAgo fusion protein complexed with an 11 base pair DNA oligoduplex in 20 mM TrisHCl pH7.5, 200 mM NaCl, 5 mM MgCl2, 1 mM DTT, were collected on the EMBL P12 beam line at PETRA III (DESY, Hamburg, Germany) using a Pilatus 2M detector at a sample-detector distance of 3 m and at a wavelength of λ = 0.124 nm (I(s) vs s, where s = 4πsinθ/λ, and 2θ is the scattering angle). One solute concentration of 3.80 mg/ml was measured at 20°C. 20 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.

DNA oligoduplex was mixed with scfAfAgo in the presence of MgCl2, buffer was changed using NAP Illustra column and concentrated to 3.8 mg/ml. Note: The DNA sequence of the model shown in this entry is different to the DNA sequence of the oligoduplex in the sample used for SAXS.
