Samples were prepared according to standardized approaches for synchrotron SAXS data collection44 (link). The RBD from Spike glycoprotein, SARS-CoV-2, was expressed in HEK293-F cells and purified as previously described37 (link). Purified RBD was stored frozen (−80 °C) and dialyzed overnight into a PBS buffer before measurement. Standard proteins were purchased from Sigma (Darmstadt, Germany): Bovine Thyroglobulin (Sigma-T1001), Equine Apoferritin (Sigma-A3660), and Bovine Serum Albumin (Sigma-A7030). Each standard was dissolved in a PBS buffer and filtered using an Ultrafree®-MC spin-filter device (12,000×g, 4 min.) prior to measurement.

About PubCompare
Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.
We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.
However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
