Anomalous small-angle X-ray scattering was used as a structural probe for solutions of rabbit parvalbumin labeled with Tb. This technique makes use of the large changes in the Tb scattering factor that occur when the X-ray energy is tuned around an L3 absorption edge of this heavy-atom label. These changes in scattering result in changes in the small-angle scattering curve of the labeled protein as a whole, when can then be analyzed to derive structural information concerning the distribution of labels in the protein. Based on a Gaussian model for the protein electron density, the mean distance from the Tb to the protein center of mass is 13.2 .ANG. and is consistent with crystallographic results. These results demonstrate the usefulness of Tb as an anomalous scattering label and provide criteria to help establish anomalous scattering as a reliable structural technique for proteins in solution.
