[edit] Carbohydrate Name
Lipopolysaccharide
[edit] Carbohydrate Class
Lipopolysaccharide
[edit] Source Microbe
Chlamydia trachomatis serotype G
[edit] Basic Structure
The LPS is composed of the pentasaccharide bisphosphate αKdo-(2-8)-αKdo-(2-->4)-αKdo-(2-6)-βGlcN-4P-(1-->6) αGlcN-1P (Kdo is 3-deoxy-α-d-manno-oct-2-ulosonic acid)
[edit] Proposed functions
LPS is most unusual constituents of outer membrane. It plays important role in host defence avoidance. LPS contributes to the negative charge of the bacterial surface. Lipid A is often toxic and act as endotoxin
