Figure 6.

Scattering profiles and distance distribution functions of free and loaded CaM. A. Scattering data of CaM (1, black dots) and the complex (2, blue dots). Dots denote the experimental scattering data, the fits obtained by MONSA are displayed as red dashed lines, and the fits of the crystal structure of CaM and the rigid body model of the complex are shown as green solid lines. The plot displays the logarithm of the scattering intensity as a function of momentum transfer s = 4π sin(θ)/λ, where 2θ is the scattering angle and λ = 0.15 nm is the X-ray wavelength. The curves are arbitrarily displaced along the logarithmic axis for better visualization. The insert presents a direct comparison of the experimental curves without displacement. B. p(r) functions computed from the experimental X-ray scattering patterns using the program GNOM. The functions are presented in arbitrary units; the colouring scheme is the same that as used for the experimental data in (A).
