Amphotericin B as a Potential Probe of the Physical State of Vesicle Membranes

Abstract

The investigations described introduce a new role for a natural product such as amphotericin B as a potential biophysical reporter group to probe the physical state of a membrane. Specifically, we demonstrated that the K(+) efflux pattern reveals an interesting sterol dependence. This is suggested to be correlated to the physical state of the membrane showing high efflux in a vesicle membrane of intermediate fluidity.
