Extract

Clagett, Tolbert, and Burris reported an enzyme of widespread occurrence in the green parts of many plants which catalyzed the oxidation of glycolic acid and 1–lactic acid. Zelitch isolated glycolic acid oxidase from spinach leaves and found it to be a flavoprotein with flavin mononucleotide as the prosthetic group. This work was later confirmed by Frigerio and co-workers.
