  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-006668",
  "term": "Lipopolysaccharidomics",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "The large-scale, systematic study of the structure, distribution, and function of lipopolysaccharides (LPS) in a biological system. As a sub-field of glycomics, it focuses on characterizing these complex glycolipids, which are major components of the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria. The analysis employs advanced techniques, primarily mass spectrometry, to elucidate the structural variations in the lipid A and polysaccharide portions of the molecules.",
