Taming Antibiotics

Technology Amphotericin B (AmpB) is a potent antifungal drug but is also highly toxic to mammals. The specificity of its cell killing depends, significantly, on its monomer vs. the aggregate state. Specifically, AmpB aggregates tend to rupture membranes indiscriminately, like detergents, while the corresponding monomers sequester ergosterol (a sterol...
