In this paper, a program for evaluating the solution scattering from macromolecules with known atomic structure is presented, which uses multipole expansion for fast calculation of the spherically averaged scattering pattern and takes into account the hydration shell.
Abstract
A program for evaluating the solution scattering from macromolecules with known atomic structure is presented. The program uses multipole expansion for fast calculation of the spherically averaged scattering pattern and takes into account the hydration shell. Given the atomic coordinates (e.g. from the Brookhaven Protein Data Bank) it can either predict the solution scattering curve or fit the experimental scattering curve using only two free parameters, the average displaced solvent volume per atomic group and the contrast of the hydration layer. The program runs on IBM PCs and on the major UNIX platforms.

Synaptic Arrangement of the Neuroligin/β-Neurexin Complex Revealed by X-Ray and Neutron Scattering

TL;DR: Structural models are developed that delineate the spatial arrangements of different neuroligin domains and their partnering molecules and provide a structural framework for understanding altered recognition by these proteins in neurodevelopmental disorders.

Assembly of Lipids and Proteins into Lipoprotein Particles

TL;DR: The self-assembly of reconstituted discoidal high-density lipoproteins, known as nanodiscs, was studied using coarse-grained molecular dynamics and small-angle X-ray scattering to show that hydrophobic interactions assemble, within several microseconds, the amphipathic helical proteins and lipids into roughly discoidal particles, while the proteins assume a final approximate double-belt configuration on a slower time scale.

Organic spin clusters. A dendritic-macrocyclic poly(arylmethyl) polyradical with very high spin of S = 10 and its derivatives: Synthesis, magnetic studies, and small-angle neutron scattering

TL;DR: Low-resolution shape reconstructions from the small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) data indicate that both the polyradical with 24 triarylmethyls and its derivatives have dumbbell-like shapes with overall dimensions 2 x 3 x 4 nm, in agreement with the molecular shapes of the lowest energy conformations obtained from Monte Carlo conformational searches.

Activation of the LicT Transcriptional Antiterminator Involves a Domain Swing⁄Lock Mechanism Provoking Massive

TL;DR: In this paper, the 1.95-resolution structure of the inactive LicT PRDs as well as the molecular solution structure of a full-length protein was deduced from small angle x-ray scattering.

The Conformational Properties of Elongation Factor G and the Mechanism of Translocation

TL;DR: The small-angle X-ray scattering study described here was undertaken to ascertain if the form ofEF-G that has high ribosome affinity, EF-G.GTP, the structure of which is unknown, could be a mimic of EF-Tu, and the data show that nucleotide-free EF-g, EF.GDP, and GTP cannot be distinguished by solution scattering and that it is likely they all resemble crystalline EF- gdp.
