In the picture the teichoic acid has a 2-aminopropyl substitution. it should be a D-alanine sunstitution. The carbonyl is missing.... So what IS LTA? lipid, carbohydrate? I guess since it says "may contain long chains of ribitol or glycerol phosphate" that it is mostly considered a polysaccharide, but if so, why is it called an acid? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Whirlpool4 (talk • contribs) 14:14, 2 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Copyvio removed[edit]

I have deleted several paragraphs from the text that appeared to have been directly copied from this abstract; would appreciate it if someone with some biochemical knowledge (i.e. not me) could review and perhaps insert some original text covering its binding effects and studies.
