[ccp4bb] Do my SAXS data agree with the crystal structure?

2012-06-16 Thread Xun Lu
Dear all, I have solved a protein-DNA structure, and I also did SAXS to get some ideas of the solution structure. The SAXS data were good, no aggregation at all three tested concentrations. I tried to use Crysol to see if my crystal structure fits the SAXS. The fitting to the scat

Hi Xun, it is difficult to judge without seeing the P(r) plots, but seeing as you have a dimer in your crystal structure and a dimer in your SAXS, AND your Chi2 value seems reasonable for a good match between PX and SAXS, I'd say you've got what you need. A matching P(r) plot would be nice, but t

In theory, there should be a simple way to calculate P(r) directly from the crystal structure rather than indirectly from the expected scattering curve. Distribution of pair distances, r^2 weighted. This would remove any ambiguity about choice of Dmax. ... but I can't think of any of the common
