Study of Binding of antibiotic amphotericin B to lipid membranes by Linear dichroism (LD) (CAT#: STEM-ST-0126-WXH)

Introduction

Amphotericin B is an antifungal medication used for serious fungal infections and leishmaniasis. The fungal infections it is used to treat include mucormycosis, aspergillosis, blastomycosis, candidiasis, coccidioidomycosis, and cryptococcosis. For certain infections it is given with flucytosine. It is typically given intravenously (injection into a vein).

Principle

Linear dichroism (LD) or diattenuation is the difference between absorption of light polarized parallel and polarized perpendicular to an orientation axis. It is the property of a material whose transmittance depends on the orientation of linearly polarized light incident upon it. LD measurements are based on the interaction between matter and light and thus are a form of electromagnetic spectroscopy.

Applications

Study the functionality and structure of molecules.

Materials

• Polarizer
• Absorbance spectrometer
