Figure 3

Yields of about 80% β-haematin were obtained with 7.4 to 30 μM Fe(III)PPIX and 16.1 μM MPG (2.17 to 0.54 L/H ratio). The yield started to decline from 34 to 37 μM Fe(III)PPIX (0.47–0.43 L/H) to about 30–50% and levels out to a lower yield of about 10% at 45 μM (0.36 L/H) and below. Incubation time was 30 min, citric buffer (50 mM, pH 4.8), 37°C. Error bars represent SEM (n = 3).
