Performance of the new biological small- and wide-angle X-ray scattering beamline 13A at the Taiwan Photon Source.

ABSTRACT: Recent developments in the instrumentation and data analysis of synchrotron small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) on biomolecules in solution have made biological SAXS (BioSAXS) a mature and popular tool in structural biology. This article reports on an advanced endstation developed at beamline 13A of the 3.0 GeV Taiwan Photon Source for biological small- and wide-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS-WAXS or SWAXS). The endstation features an in-vacuum SWAXS detection system comprising two mobile area detectors (Eiger X 9M/1M) and an online size-exclusion chromatography system incorporating several optical probes including a UV-Vis absorption spectrometer and refractometer. The instrumentation and automation allow simultaneous SAXS-WAXS data collection and data reduction for high-throughput biomolec
