Lipopolysaccharide bilayer structure: effect of chemotype, core mutations, divalent cations, and temperature.

Biochemistry - 17 Aug 1999

Snyder S, Kim D, McIntosh T J

Abstract excerpt

Lipopolysaccharide (LPS), the primary lipid on the surface of Gram-negative bacteria, is thought to act as a protective and permeability barrier. X-ray diffraction analysis of osmotically stressed LPS multilayers was used to determine the structure and interactive properties of LPSs from strains...
