a
The kinetics of β-hematin formation were analyzed following incubation of a mixture of heme (50 μM) and detergent (50 μM) at 37 °C and pH 4.8 while shaking with the mean and standard deviations of three replicates reported.
b
The rate constant calculated based on the indicated Avrami constant, n.
c
Triton X-114 and NP-40 had a slightly better fit for n = 3.
