Radiation susceptibilities of different proteins and the effect of solution additives. (a) Histogram comparing the initial rates of radiation damage calculated across 5 × 30 ms exposure frames for GI (10 mg ml−1), BSA (11 mg ml−1), cytochrome-C (Cyto, 10 mg ml−1), lysozyme (Lyso, 8.8 mg ml−1) and RNAse (10 mg ml−1) with and without solution additives present (Asc, ascorbate, 1 mM; DTT, dithiothreitol, 1 mM; glycerol, 5% v/v; GI/glycerol and Cyto/glycerol measurements are not included). Estimates of the critical dose (kGy) are reported (for further details refer to Table S4 of the supporting information). (b) The effect of 5% v/v glycerol on the solvent-corrected SAXS scattering intensities of BSA in solution as a consequence of reducing X-ray contrast.
