Abstract

Lipopolysaccharides (LPS) are stabilizing structures in the outer membranes of gram-negative bacteria. They serve to protect the cells from environmental stress as they are transported into and out of their host organism. This study will look at two strains of gram-negative bacteria—Escherichia coli 0188 and Shigella boydii 016—and their LPS conformations and dynamics to understand their immune responses. This will be done by creating molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of the species’ LPS with 10 repeating units of the O-antigen polysaccharide in symmetric membrane systems.
