“…Similar interactions stabilized to some extent the binary complex; nevertheless the sterol had almost complete conformational freedom there [13]. As presupposed in the hypothetical [5], confirmed in the computational models of other authors [19,22,23] and in our study, the additional stabilizing factors were van der Waals intermolecular forces between AmB and a sterol. Their positioning properties for the sterol molecule arise from its presence in the groove between chromophore systems of AmBs.…”

“…The most comprehensive one was created by deKruijff and Demel in the early 1970s [5]. According to this model the channel structure is circular and consists of 8 AmB molecules interdigitated by 8 sterol molecules.…”

“…Both filipin and methyl-β-cyclodextrin (MCD) affect cholesterol in the membrane, however in different ways [9,10]. We showed that MCD treatment lead to failure of CCR5 to inhibit forskolin-stimulated accumulation of cAMP and it also changed the potency of CCL3 for intracellular calcium release, however cholesterol depletion had no effect on receptor internalisation.…”

“…Therefore, we have constructed model membranes containing either 13% or 30% of a sterol (ergosterol or cholesterol) and a model phospholipd (saturated: DPPC and unsaturated: DOPC). The knowledge of the interactions between phospholipids and cholesterol/ergosterol may have significant implications in the mode of action of the polyene antifungal antibiotics, which are believed to form channels in cellular membranes, due to their interactions with sterols, which are responsible for the leakage of vital cellular components, leading to the cell death [19]. Therefore, because phospholipids comprise ca.…”
