  eLife Assessment

  This work presents valuable new data on the role of D-Serine and how it competes with its stereoisomer L-Serine to influence metabolism. The work presents a variety of convincing experimental data combined with simulated results to investigate the mechanisms focused on one-carbon metabolism, which is relevant for several research fields. However, some claims are only partially supported by data, and critical areas comparing L- vs D-Serine and further mechanistic studies are required. Furthermore, while the work has potential for various fields, the work has only been studied in a limited cell type and context.
