Reducing terminus

The biosynthesis of the LPS is initiated at the Lipid A portion of the molecule and proceeds toward the non-reducing terminus. Mutants defective in either the biosynthesis or the activation and transfer of most of the individual sugars are known...

The LPSs from H. pylori MO 19 and 0 6 contained a single Le epitope at the nonreducing end of tlie LPS molecule wliich was attached through a Gal unit to a heptoglycan of 3-hnked oo-Hep units. These LPSs were also shown to have an inner core OS attached to Kdo representing tlie reducing terminus of the PS molecule from the LPS (Fig. 11). The backbone of tlie LPS core OS from these... 

The interactions of HS withFGFs " involve primarily the NS-domains (see Fig. 2) of the polysaccharide. Biochemical analyses of FGF2 interactions with heparin and HS oligosaccharides implicated a I-Ans-I-Ans-I2s pentasaccharide sequence (for symbols, see Fig. 1 reducing terminus to the right), notably lacking any 6-G-sulfatc groups, as the smallest and least sulfated structure capable...
