Identification
Name:	Lipid A
Description	Lipid A is a lipid that comprises the innermost of the three regions of the lipopolysaccharide (LPS) molecule found in the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria such as E. coli. Its hydrophobic nature allows it to anchor the LPS to the outer membrane. Lipid A consists of two glucosamine (carbohydrate/sugar) units with attached acyl chains ("fatty acids"), and normally containing one phosphate group on each carbohydrate. The E. coli lipid A typically has four C14 hydroxy acyl chains attached to the sugars and one C14 and one C12 attached to the beta hydroxy groups. (Wikipedia)
