<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 />
