Carbohydrate Name

Lipopolysaccharide

Carbohydrate Class

Lipopolysaccharide

Source Microbe

Salmonella minnesota R595

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

Proposed functions

LPS plays an important virulence role based on its antiphagocytic and endotoxic properties
