Abstract excerpt
The structural polymorphism of deep rough mutant lipopolysaccharide--in many biological systems the most active endotoxin--from Salmonella minnesota strain R595 was investigated as function of temperature, water content, and Mg2+ concentration. Differential scanning calorimetry was used to determine the amount of bound water and the enthalpy change at the beta<==>alpha gel to liquid crystalline acyl chain...
