From DrugPedia: A Wikipedia for Drug discovery
[edit] Carbohydrate Name
Core oligosaccharide
[edit] Carbohydrate Class
Core oligosaccharide [LPS]
[edit] Source Microbe
Salmonella typhimurium SL 1032 [Rd1]
[edit] Basic Structure
LPS is a complex macromolecule composed of the biologically active lipid A moiety, covalently attached core oligosaccharide, and distally linked polysaccharide O-side chain. The core oligosaccharide part consists of the following residues : L-gro-α-D-manHepp-(1-->7)-L-gro-α-D-manHepp-(1-->3)-L-gro-α-D-manHepp-(1-->5)-α-Kdop [branched to α-Kdop-(2-->4)] -(2--/lipid A/
[edit] Proposed functions
LPS plays an important virulence role based on its antiphagocytic and endotoxic properties
