title: The structure of the core part of Proteus penneri strain 16 lipopolysaccharide.
abstract: The structure of the carbohydrate backbone of the lipid A-core region of the lipopolysaccharide (LPS) from Proteus penneri strain 16 was determined using NMR and chemical analysis of the core oligosaccharide, obtained by mild acid hydrolysis of the LPS, and of the products of alkaline deacylation of the LPS: formula [see text]. Incomplete substitution is indicated by bold italics. All sugars are in the pyranose form, alpha-Hep is the residue of L-glycero-alpha-D-manno-Hep, alpha-DD-Hep is the residue of D-glycero-alpha-D-manno-Hep, Bu is the (R)-3-hydroxybutyryl residue.
