Ferroheme is formed when iron is inserted into protoporphyrin IX. The active center of hemoglobin and myoglobin consists of iron Ferroheme complex bound through a single, “proximal”, axial histidine (His) to the protein It is an iron containing cofactor that is involved with a wide range of cellular functions including oxygen transport. The antimalarial activity of a number of artemisinin derivatives, both newly synthesized and currently used as drugs, against Plasmodium falciparum in culture shows a correlation with their affinity of binding with Ferroheme.

The matrix fraction of rat liver mitochondria has a high binding capacity for protoheme IX with an almost linear increase in binding up to at least 28 nmol heme/mg protein. Since free heme could not be detected until the heme to protein ratio exceeded 14 nmol heme/mg protein, it is suggested that there is a substantial high-affinity binding of heme to matrix components, probably those of high molecular weight and low electrophoretic mobility.
