Figure 6.
Small-angle X-ray diffraction (SAXS) of both apo and Ni-bound HpNikR. (A) Experimental scattering profiles from the apo (blue circles) and holo (green circles) HpNikR showing that both curves are almost equivalent. Dashed line square shows a close-up of the low-angle region of both experimental curves. (B) Experimental scattering profile from the apo-HpNikR (black spheres) compared with the theoretical curves calculated for HpNikR in closed cis- (green), closed trans- (blue) and open (red) conformations. The best fit is obtained with the closed cis-conformation as shown by the chi between experimental and theoretical curves obtained using Crysol.
