Abstract
The preferred conformation of the hexose and heptose regions of core saccharides from Enterobacteriaceae lipopolysaccharides was calculated. The Hard Sphere Exo Anomeric (HSEA) approach was used and the minimum energy conformation of the Salmonella typhimurium and Escherichia coli R1, R2, R3, R4 and K12 cores calculated. The results indicate that most of the cores are sterically crowded, with small degrees of freedom, and that the hexose and heptose parts from two separate regions. The core structures exhibit a ‘front’‐side and a ‘back’‐side, the former being similar for all the structures and latter being characteristic for each core type.Keywords
