| Summary: | Includes bibliographical references. === Haemozoin is a cyclic dimer of ferriprotoporphyrin (IX) that occurs in malariaparasites and some other blood-eating organisms. It is chemically identical to β-haematin. In this work, the kinetics of β-haematin formation were investigated in 0.05 M benzoic acid acid solution using a newly developed pyridine-based assay. |
