Autofluorescence of condensed heme aggregates in malaria pigment and its synthetic equivalent hematin anhydride (beta-hematin)

The condensed crystalline phase of iron(III) protoporphyrin IX either isolated from parasite culture as malaria pigment (hemozoin) or synthetic equivalent hematin anhydride exhibits a solid-state autofluorescence characterized by an excitation maximum of 555 nm and an emission maximum of 577 nm. The...
