The Degenerate ground state approximation was used to calculate the optical absorption and CD spectra for helical polymer models of amphotericin B aggregates in aqueous solution. Comparisons with experimental spectra indicate that a two‐molecule/unit cell helical polymer model is a possible structure for aggregates of amphotericin B.
