Description

Glycolate is a chemical compound that is found in the leaves of beans and other plants. Glycolate is oxidized by glycolic acid oxidase (GAO) to form glyoxylic acid, which is then converted to glyoxylate by GAO. Glyoxylate can be converted to glycine, an amino acid that helps with protein synthesis, or it can be converted to oxalate, a toxin. Glycolic acid oxidase inhibitor 1 (GAOI-1) prevents the oxidation of glycolate into glyoxylic acid by stopping the cycle of GAO. GAOI-1 binds to one of the intermediate products in this cycle and inhibits its activity. It has been shown to reduce leaf tissue damage caused by high levels of photosynthesis.
