On the kinetics of formation of hemozoin, the malaria pigment
Abstract
We report on the kinetics of formation of hemozoin as a function of hemin concentration and reaction medium. Evidence is presented for the critical role played by interfacial regions in the efficient conversion of hemin to the malaria pigment.
