When malaria parasites infect host red blood cells (RBC) and proteolyze hemoglobin, a unique, albeit poorly understood parasite-specific mechanism, detoxifies released heme into hemozoin (Hz). Here, we report the identification characterization of novel Plasmodium Heme Detoxification Protein (HDP) that is extremely potent in converting Hz. HDP functionally conserved across genus its gene locus could not be disrupted. Once expressed, parasite utilizes circuitous “Outbound–Inbound” trafficking...

Abstract Elastic geothermobarometry on inclusions is a method to determine pressure-temperature conditions of mineral growth independent chemical equilibrium. Because the difference in their elastic properties, an inclusion completely entrapped inside host will develop residual stress upon exhumation, from which one can back-calculate entrapment pressure. Current geobarometric models assume that both and are elastically isotropic have ideal geometry (the spherical isolated at center infinite...
Abstract Minerals trapped as inclusions within other host minerals will develop non‐lithostatic pressures during both prograde and retrograde metamorphism because of the differences between thermoelastic properties inclusion phases. There is only a single possible path in P–T space, entrapment isomeke, along which no residual pressure would be developed host–inclusion system; are result external temperature deviating from isomeke that passes through conditions. With modern equation state...

Recent experiments on several oxide perovskites reveal that they undergo tilt phase transitions to higher-symmetry phases increasing pressure and dTc/dP<0, contrary a general rule previously proposed for such zone-boundary transitions. We show the negative slope of boundary is consequence octahedra in these being more compressible than extra-framework cation sites. Conversely, when are stiffer sites, transition temperatures increase with pressure, dTc/dP>0.
