Plasmepsin I (EC 3.4.23.38, aspartic hemoglobinase I, PFAPG, malaria aspartic hemoglobinase) is an enzyme.[1][2][3] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction
- Hydrolysis of the -Phe33-Leu- bond in the alpha-chain of hemoglobin, leading to denaturation of the molecule
This enzyme is present in the malaria organism, Plasmodium.
