<span>R group (or side chain) is an organic component of amino acids that is unique to each amino acid. </span> <span>Three of the amino acids have basic side chains at neutral pH: arginine (Arg), lysine (Lys), and histidine (His). Their side chains contain nitrogen and resemble ammonia, which is a base and their pKa's are high enough that they tend to bind protons, (positive charge). Aspartic acid or aspartate (Asp) and glutamic acid or glutamate (Glu) are acidic amino acids because their side chains have carboxylic acid groups whose pKa's are low enough to lose protons, (negatively charged). The non-polar amino acids contain uncharged functional groups<span> at physiological pH and are incapable of participating in hydrogen bonding. </span></span>

miskamm [114]

Molecules that are present in the membranes of gram-negative bacteria and are the best-known pamps are called Bacterial lipopolysaccharides (LPSs).

Bacterial lipopolysaccharides (LPS) are the primary outer surface membrane elements present in almost all Gram-negative bacteria and it act as extremely strong stimulators of the innate or natural immunity in the diverse eukaryotic species ranging from insects to humans.

Eukaryotes are the organisms whose cells contain a nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles. eukaryote, any cell or organism that possesses a clearly defined nucleus. The first eukaryotic cells was evolved about 2 billion years ago. In this Cells with nuclei surrounded by a nuclear envelope with nuclear pores.
