Description

DL-Serine is a metabolite of the amino acid serine. It is an important intermediate in the biosynthesis of other amino acids, such as glycine and cysteine. DL-Serine can also be used to synthesize phospholipids and nucleotides. DL-Serine is a stable complex with sodium ester hydrochloride at pH 1.5 and anhydrous sodium at pH 2.8, which makes it suitable for use in acidic conditions. It has been shown to have clinical relevance in enzymatic processes related to fatty acid synthesis and metabolism, including glycerophospholipid synthesis and degradation of triacylglycerols. DL-Serine has been shown to have optimum concentration at 0.1 mM, with hydroxyl group interactions stabilizing the molecule by forming hydrogen bonding interactions with adjacent molecules; however, if the concentration exceeds 0.2 mM there will be a net decrease in free energy due to its ability to form
