THE “WRONG” AMINO ACIDS. “Bacteria do not produce d-serine in large quantities, but rather produce d-alanine, d-proline and d-glutamate for their cell walls. Eukaryotes, perhaps to eliminate the d-amino acids common in the prokaryotes they ingest and harbour, evolved DAO activities by elaborating on the structure of other flavin-requiring oxidases.”
