    • Amphotericin B (AmB) is a polyene macrolide antibiotic clinically used as an antifungal drug. Its preferential complex-ation with ergosterol (Erg), the major sterol of fungal membranes, leads to the formation of barrel-stave-like ion chan-nel across a lipid bilayer. To gain a better understanding of the mechanism of action, a mode of lipid-bilayer spanning provides essential information. However, because of the lack of methodologies to observe it directly, it has not been revealed for the Erg… CONTINUE READING
