Amphotericin B is a widely used polyene antifungal drug for the treatment of deep fungal infections. This drug could cause pores on the cell membrane. In this work, we used the dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine monolayer as the model of cell membrane in half. The influence of Na⁺ions on the interaction...
