The fabrication of biomimetic catalysts as substituents for enzymes is of critical interest in the
field due to the problems associated with the extraction, purification, and storage of enzymes …

Formation of malaria pigment or haemozoin is the major route of haem detoxification in the
malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum as well as several other species of …

Malaria parasites use hemoglobin (Hb) as a major nutrient source in the intraerythrocytic
stage, during which heme is converted to hemozoin (Hz). The formation of Hz is essential for …

After malaria, schistosomiasis (or bilharzia) is the second most prevalent disease in Africa,
and is occurring in over 70 countries in tropical and subtropical regions. It is estimated that …

This review on the interplay between malaria, antimalarial drugs, and hemozoin crystals is
directed, on one hand, to biologists and pharmaceutical chemists who wish to have a …

The recent literature on hemozoin/β-hematin formation is reviewed, with an emphasis on the
mechanism of its formation. Recent findings from unrelated organisms that produce …

Schistosomes are parasitic flatworms that infect> 200 million people worldwide, causing the
chronic, debilitating disease schistosomiasis. Unusual among parasitic helminths, the long …

The intraerythrocytic malaria parasite constructs an intracellular haem crystal, called
haemozoin, within an acidic digestive vacuole where haemoglobin is degraded. Haem …

Lipids were long believed to have a structural role in biomembranes and a role in energy
storage utilizing cellular lipid droplets and plasma lipoproteins. Research over the last …

The biogenic formation of hemozoin crystals, a crucial process in heme detoxification by the
malaria parasite, is reviewed as an antimalarial drug target. We first focus on the in‐vivo …
