[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 O-antigen part consists of the following residues : -2)-α-D-Manp [branched to α-Tyvp-(1-->3)] -(1-->4)-α-L-Rhap-(1-->3)-α-D-Galp-(1-
[edit] Proposed functions
LPS plays an important virulence role based on its antiphagocytic and endotoxic properties
