Interacting selectively and non-covalently with lipopolysaccharide. Elemental activities, such as catalysis or binding, describing the actions of a gene product at the molecular level. A given gene product may exhibit one or more molecular functions. The selective, non-covalent, often stoichiometric, interaction of a molecule with one or more specific sites on another molecule. Combining with a lipopolysaccharide to initiate a change in cell activity. Lipopolysaccharides (LPS) are major components of the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria, making them prime targets for recognition by the immune system.
