Figure 10

Effect of buffer on the kinetics of β-haematin formation. Rate constants obtained with citric (■), acetic (×) and MES buffers (*) were 0.080 ± 0.005, 0.047 ± 0.006 and 0.030 ± 0.004 min-1 respectively. Reaction mediated by MPG (0.54 L/H), pH 4.8 (50 mM buffer), 37°C. Constant total Fe(III)PPIX concentration of 30 μM. Error bars represent SEM (n = 4).
