ABSTRACT Biomolecular structures are typically determined using frozen or crystalline samples. Measurement of intramolecular distances in solution can provide additional insights into conformational heterogeneity and dynamics biological macromolecules their complexes. The established molecular ruler techniques used for this (NMR, FRET, EPR) are, however, limited dynamic range require model assumptions to determine absolute distance (distributions). Here, we introduce anomalous X-ray...
We establish high-resolution (<1 Å) intramolecular distance measurements in proteins using pairs of small (1.4 nm diameter) gold nanoparticle labels and anomalous small-angle X-ray scattering as a read out.
