Lipopolysaccharide lateral mobility in the Gram-negative bacterial outer membrane is confined and governed by interactions within the conserved Lipid A anchor

This study shows lipopolysaccharide in Gram-negative bacteria is laterally confined in the outer membrane due to magnesium and hydrophobic interactions, a feature conserved across species.
