1. Glycollate oxidase has been purified to apparent homogeneity from Lemna minor L. grown on medium containing 7mM NO−3.
2. The enzyme is a highly basic protein with a sub-unit molecular weight of 42,000 and a holoprotein molecular weight of 250,000.
3. The Lemna enzyme is a flavoprotein with a broad specificity for straight chain α-hydroxy acids, the preferred substrate being glycollate.
4. It is also competitively inhibited by oxalate and phenyllactate.
5. A comparison is drawn between the physical properties of glycollate oxidase from a number of higher plants and the degree of sub-unit aggregation in the resulting protomers.
