Dendrimeric Template of Plasmodium falciparum Histidine Rich Protein II Repeat Motifs Bearing Asp→Asn Mutation Exhibits Heme Binding and β-Hematin Formation

Plasmodium falciparum (Pf) employs a crucial PfHRPII catalyzed reaction that converts toxic heme into hemozoin. Understanding heme polymerization mechanism is the first step for rational design of new drugs, targeting this pathway. Heme binding and hemozoin formation have been ascribed to PfHRPII as...
