Main area of activity of the structural unit:

The study of the molecular mechanism interaction of the polyene antibiotics with cell and lipid membranes. The investigation structure of the polyene antibiotics and their function into lipid membranes. The mechanism of the ion transport through the single of the cannel.

Main scientific achievements of the structural unit:

For the first time in the world was showed the single ionic channels in the lipid membranes by the action of the polyene antibiotics. The properties of polyene channel was studed. The functon of the polyene channel in the membranes depend on the structure of the polyene antibiotics. This investigations open the way to the synthesis of the new medicine with known selective properties.
