How to compute SAS from atomic model How to compute SAS from atomic model I solution (s) I solvent (s) I particle (s) ♦ To obtain scattering from the particles, solvent scattering must be subtracted to yield effective density distribution Δρ = < ρ ( r ) - ρ s > , where ρ s is the scattering Δ di t ib ti ( ) h i th tt i density of the solvent ♦ Further, the bound solvent density may differ from Further the bound solvent density may differ from that of the bulk
