[edit] Carbohydrate Name
Core oligosaccharide
[edit] Carbohydrate Class
Core oligosaccharide [LPS]
[edit] Source Microbe
Salmonella minnesota R 595 [Re]
[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 : α-Kdop-(2-8)-α-Kdop-(2-->4)-Kdo
[edit] Proposed functions
LPS plays an important virulence role based on its antiphagocytic and endotoxic properties
