At low resolution, without interpretable anomalous signal, neither SAXS nor molecular replacement with SAXS model, can distinguish correct from inverted solution. So inverted model will fit crystal data equally well. Only phase extension to much higher resolution (e.g. 5A) can help. Yes,

That an entire 500bp would be protected from DNase seems very very strange - but very interesting if true! Could that band on the agarose gel be something else? Protein will stain a bit with ethidium as well as with coomassie. Did you add SDS before running the agarose gel or is it native

THESEUS can do it, and it comes bundled with ccp4 so definitely on-topic. If you want RMSD of “equivalent” amino acids, you must tell THESEUS which residues are equivalent with a sequence alignment. Then use the -I option to get the RMSD (and other stats) of the pdb files in their current

Shouldn't the ability to distinguish enantiomers also depend upon the degree of asymmetry of the particle itself? (or pseudosymmetry, I suppose) With SAXS it should be easier to distinguish right-handed and left-handed lock washers than it is to tell a right-handed from a left-handed wall screw.

Yes, SAXS has an enantiomer problem - mirror image DAMMIN/F reconstructions will give the same fit to the raw scattering data, whereas your protein structure will only fit one hand. SUPCOMB can certainly deal with this problem, as detailed in
