Lipopolysaccharide

Stylized lipopolysaccharide molecule shown as an amphipathic bacterial outer membrane component with a compact dark hydrophobic lipid anchor at the base and a broad sugar-rich region extending outward. The lipid portion may appear as several short dark brown or gray fatty tails emerging from a membrane-facing base, while the carbohydrate portion is depicted as a branching bead-like or linked-hexagon chain in pale yellow, yellow, and orange. Overall the molecule has a lollipop-like, brush-like, or fuzzy-fringe appearance, with the branched carbohydrate chains projecting away from the thin membrane base.
