Determining Rg of IDPs from SAXS Data

Rieloff, Ellen LU and Skepö, Marie LU (2020) In Methods in molecular biology (Clifton, N.J.) 2141. p.271-283
Abstract

There is a great interest within the research community to understand the structure-function relationship for intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs); however, the heterogeneous distribution of conformations that IDPs can adopt limits the applicability of conventional structural biology methods. Here, scattering techniques, such as small-angle X-ray scattering, can contribute. In this chapter, we will describe how to make a model-free determination of the radius of gyration by using two different approaches, the Guinier analysis and the pair distance distribution function. The ATSAS package (Franke et al., J Appl Crystallogr 50:1212-1225, 2017) has been used for the evaluation, and throughout the chapter, different examples will be... (More)

The ATSAS package (Franke et al., J Appl Crystallogr 50:1212-1225, 2017) has been used for the evaluation, and throughout the chapter, different examples will be given to illustrate the discussed phenomena, as well as the pros and cons of using the different approaches.
