Abstract
The aminoacyl analysis of endotoxic lipopolysaccharides (LPS) isolated from several bacteria revealed essential amounts of glycine, among the inherent LPS components. Glycine as a single amino acid was found only in a core part of LPS. The results indicate that amino acid is an integral constituent of core oligosaccharide in lipopolysaccharide.
