SAXS from P(r)

[shoma]

Hi all,

just a quick question - is there a tool in ATSAS package that allows calculating the SAXS curve from a given P(r) function, opposite direction that gnom does?

Thank you in advance!

Sure, it is called pddffit.

Code: Select all

$ pddffit --help
Usage: pddffit <PDDFFILE> <DATFILE> [OPTION]

Fits a pair distance distribution function to experimental data.

Known Options:
  -o, --output=FILE  write the output to this file instead of stdout
  -v, --version      print version information and exit
  -h, --help         print this help and exit

Report bugs to <atsas@embl-hamburg.de>.

The PDDFFILE should be in a three-column format. The intensity calculated from the p(r) will be in the fourth column of the output file.

Hi AL, thank you for the quick and kind answer.

pddffit asks for two arguments, P(r) and experimental curve?
can I do something if I have only P(r) function, but not any curve. And I want to predict SAXS curve only from P(r).

You may take any "template" curve, run pddffit, then remove the second and third column from the output file.
