Modelling glycosylation and conformational heterogeneity explains the SAXS data better than comparison with the crystal structure alone. (a) Comparison of the experimental LTGFβ-1 scattering profile (blue) with that of a monomer from the crystal structure (PDB entry 3rjr, orange; χ2 = 95.0) and the glycosylated model (green; χ2 = 3.56). (b) Comparison of the experimental LAP scattering profile (blue) with that of the LAP domain from the LTGFβ-1 crystal structure (orange; χ2 = 147.35), the glycosylated model (green; χ2 = 17.41) and the EOM ensemble (red; χ2 = 6.71). |
