Basic StructureLPS 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 consists of the following residues : -3)-β-D-Quip4NAc-(1-->2)-α-D-Manp [branched to α-L-Rhap-(1-->3)] -(1-->4)-β-D-Galp-(1-->3)-α-D-GlcpNAc-(1-
