General view of O. intermedium lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and (E) coli LPS docked in hTLR4/MD-2 dimer. (A) Full O. intermedium LPS (in purple) conformation with the core diving toward TLR4*–TLR4 interface. (B) E. coli LPS pose (in cyan) superimposed with O. intermedium LPS pose (in purple) in hTLR4/MD-2 dimer (hTLR4 and MD-2 are in gray, and hTLR4/MD-2* was omitted for clarity). The polar interactions established between (C) E. coli LPS and (D) O. intermedium LPS with TLR4* (brown), TLR4 (in orange), and MD-2 (in gray) residues are presented. (An asterisk distinguishes the second TLR4/MD-2 monomer).
