<strong>SAXS</strong> Invariants<br />
(structural parameters derived directly from <strong>SAXS</strong>)<br />
Q, Porod Invariant<br />
Directly related to mean square electron density of particle.<br />
Requires convergence in Kratky plot (q 2 I(q) vs q).<br />
Vp, Porod Volume<br />
Requires Q<br />
lc, correlation length<br />
Q acts as a normalization constant <strong>and</strong> corrects for:<br />
1.concentration<br />
2.instrumentation parameters<br />
3.contrast, (Δρ) 2<br />
Rg, radius-of-gyration<br />
Does not require Q<br />
Concentration independent<br />
Contrast independent (as long as structure does not<br />
change)<br />
Essentially normalized to I(0)<br />

Porod Invariant<br />
Assessing flexibility<br />
G. Porod deduced an integral constant contained within a <strong>SAXS</strong> curve:<br />
Assumption:<br />
1.defined Δρ exists between particle <strong>and</strong> solvent<br />
2.scatterer has homogenous electron density<br />
Integration of data transformed as q 2 • I(q) should be constant<br />
Q = 1<br />
2π 2 ∫ ∞<br />

q 2 · I(q) dq<br />
Q =2π 2 · (∆ρ) 2 · V<br />
Q is the direct product of the excess scattering<br />
electrons of the particle <strong>and</strong> Vparticle<br />
Q =2π 2 · c · (∆ρ) 2 · V<br />
Regardless of beamline, source, or wavelength;<br />
Data should have the same constant with the same sample at the same concentration.<br />

• visualization of Q<br />
• used to interpret samples with flexibility<br />
A plot of q 2 • I(q) vs q should show a curve that captures a<br />
defined area, hence the integral.<br />
Defined area means transformed data converges.<br />
