Identification of Essential Histidine Residues Involved in Heme Binding and Hemozoin Formation in Heme Detoxification Protein from Plasmodium falciparum
Malaria parasites digest hemoglobin within a food vacuole to supply amino acids, releasing the toxic product heme. During the detoxification, toxic free heme is converted into an insoluble crystalline form called hemozoin (Hz). Heme detoxification protein (HDP) in Plasmodium falciparum is one of the...
