Hemozoin crystals are not found in red cells that are not infected with malaria.

未感染疟疾的红细胞中不存在疟原虫色素晶体。

And when artemisinin encounters hemozoin, the two compounds react to create unstable atoms known as free radicals.

当青蒿素遇到疟原虫色素时，这两种化合物会发生反应，产生被称为自由基的不稳定原子。

Once they mature, these parasites contain a compound called hemozoin — something they ultimately get from digesting human blood.

这些寄生虫成熟之后会含有一种叫做疟原虫色素的化合物——这是它们从消化人类血液中获得的东西。

But luckily, artemisinin reacts more readily with hemozoin, than it does with the iron in our cells.

但幸运的是，青蒿素与疟原虫色素的反应比与我们细胞中的铁反应更容易。

It shines on a very tiny particle called the hemozoin which is produced by the malaria parasite once it has infected red blood cells.

它照射在疟疾寄生虫感染红细胞后生成的名为疟原虫色素的很微小的颗粒。
