abstract = {Lipopolysaccharides (LPS) belong to the strongest
immune-modulating compounds known in nature, and are often
described as pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs).
In particular, at higher concentrations they are responsible
for sepsis and the septic shock syndrome associated with
high lethality. Since most data are indicative that LPS
aggregates are the bioactive units, their supramolecular
structures are considered to be of outmost relevance for
deciphering the molecular mechanisms of its bioactivity. So
far, however, most of the data available addressing this
issue, were published only for the lipid part (lipid A) and
the core-oligosaccharide containing rough LPS, representing
the bioactive unit. By contrast, it is well known that most
of the LPS specimen identified in natural habitats contain
the smooth-form (S-form) LPS, which carry additionally a
high-molecular polysaccharide (O-chain). To fill this lacuna
and going into a more natural system, here various wild-type
(smooth form) LPS including also some LPS fractions were
investigated by small-angle X-ray scattering with
synchrotron radiation to analyze their aggregate structure.
Furthermore, the influence of a recently designed synthetic
anti-LPS peptide (SALP) Pep19-2.5 on the aggregate
structure, on the binding thermodynamics, and on the
cytokine-inducing activity of LPS were characterized,
showing defined aggregate changes, high affinity binding and
inhibition of cytokine secretion. The data obtained are
suitable to refine our view on the preferences of LPS for
non-lamellar structures, representing the highest bioactive
forms which can be significantly influenced by the binding
with neutralizing peptides such as Pep19-2.5.},
