This work benefitted from discussions with Andrea M. Katz, Steve P. Meisburger, Matthew E. Warkentin and Lois Pollack about radiation damage and SAXS. Matthew E. Warkentin and Jonah Haber helped collect preliminary data (not included here) that guided later data collection. Richard Gillilan is the staff scientist in charge of the MacCHESS BioSAXS user facility and aided with set up and data collection. He also provided the silver behenate calibrant. Arthur Woll is the beamline scientist for G-Line at CHESS and helped solve various instrumentation issues at the beamline. Wendy Kozlowski is a data curation specialist with the Cornell Research Data Management Service Group and helped prepare the data for deposition in the Cornell eCommons.
This work was funded by the NSF (DBI-1152348). This work is based upon research conducted at the Cornell High Energy Synchrotron Source (CHESS), which is supported by the National Science Foundation and the National Institutes of Health/National Institute of General Medical Sciences under NSF award DMR-0936384, using the Macromolecular Diffraction at CHESS (MacCHESS) facility, which is supported by award GM-103485 from the National Institutes of Health, through its National Institute of General Medical Sciences. This work made use of the Nanobiotechnology Center shared research facilities at Cornell.


The data deposited here are:
1) All subtracted scattering profiles used for analysis in the paper. These are contained in the archive titled: "HopkinsThorne_RadDam_2016_ScatteringProfiles.zip"
2) All processed data, including calculated dose and structural parameters. These are contained in the archive titled: "HopkinsThorne_RadDam_2016_ProcessedData.zip"
3) All data used in generating the figures. These are contained in the archive titled "HopkinsThorne_RadDam_2016_FigureData.zip". Note that this data necessarily overlaps with the data in the first two archives.

All data is in human readable text format, and can be opened in a standard text editor. The extension ".dat" is used for scattering profiles so they can be read into standard processing software.
