Further evidence in favour of a carbanion mechanism for glycolate oxidase

The flavoenzyme glycolate oxidase oxidizes glycolic acid to glyoxylate and the latter, more slowly, to oxalate. It is a member of an FMN‐dependent enzyme family that oxidizes l‐2‐hydroxy acids to keto acids. There has been a controversy concerning the chemical mechanism of substrate oxidation by the...
