In 2012, preliminary guidelines were published addressing sample quality, data acquisition and reduction, presentation of scattering data and validation, and modelling for biomolecular small-angle scattering (SAS) experiments. Biomolecular SAS has since continued to grow and authors have increasingly adopted the preliminary guidelines. In parallel, integrative/hybrid determination of biomolecular structures is a rapidly growing field that is expanding the scope of structural biology. For SAS to contribute maximally to this field, it is essential to ensure open access to the information required for evaluation of the quality of SAS samples and data, as well as the validity of SAS-based structural models. To this end, the preliminary guidelines for data presentation in a publication are reviewed and updated, and the deposition of data and associated models in a public archive is recommended. These guidelines and recommendations have been prepared in consultation with the members of the International Union of Crystallography (IUCr) Small-Angle Scattering and Journals Commissions, the Worldwide Protein Data Bank (wwPDB) Small-Angle Scattering Validation Task Force and additional experts in the field.

DAMMIF, a revised implementation of theab-initioshape-determination programDAMMINfor small-angle scattering data, is presented. The program was fully rewritten, and its algorithm was optimized for speed of execution and modified to avoid limitations due to the finite search volume. Symmetry and anisometry constraints can be imposed on the particle shape, similar toDAMMIN. In equivalent conditions,DAMMIFis 25–40 times faster thanDAMMINon a single CPU. The possibility to utilize multiple CPUs is added toDAMMIF. The application is available in binary form for major platforms.

Multilamellar phases can be identified and characterized by small-angle scattering of X-rays (SAXS) or neutrons (SANS). Equidistant peaks are the typical signature and their spacing allows the fast determination of the repeat distance,i.e.the mean distance between the midplane of neighbouring bilayers. The scattering function can be described as the product of a structure factor and a form factor. The structure factor is related to the ordering of the bilayers and is responsible for the typical equidistant peaks, but it also contains information about the bilayer flexibility and the number of coherently scattering bilayers. The form factor depends on the thickness and the internal structure (scattering length density distribution) of a single bilayer. The recently developed generalized indirect Fourier transformation (GIFT) method is extended to such systems. This method allows the simultaneous determination of the structure factor and the form factor of the system, including the correction of instrumental broadening effects. A few-parameter model is used for the structure factor, while the determination of the form factor is completely model-free. The method has been tested successfully with simulated scattering data and by application to experimental data sets.
