Research on isolated retinas and bacterial enzymes suggests that cysteine and D-serine do not interact in a way that would cause concern. Their uptake and metabolism seem to be independent processes. No mechanism of interaction was identified. The transport of D-serine appears to be mediated by ASCT, while cysteine's metabolism involves different pathways, including the action of L-serine deaminase in certain bacteria.
