[gmx-developers] Debye formula (spherical averaging) in SAXS calculation !

[Anjaiah Nalaparaju]

Dear Gromacs Developers,

I have just started looking into the option for calculating SAXS profile
for a protein using gromacs. I found in sfactor.c , for calculating the
structure factor spherical averaging in not implemented. Where as in
nsfactor.c, I guess it is implemented. Could you please let me know the
reason for implementing different approach for SAXS and SANS calculation. I
think in SAXS calculation also spherical averaging might be needed to match
the calculated profile with experiments. If not spherical averaged I found
orientation of protein has effect on the profile. Any clarification on this
query is greatly appreciated.

Thanks in Advance.
Best regards
