A coupled recording assay of cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase activity at and below 1 PM is presented. The method is especially useful in preparative work where speed is more important than high accuracy, but results agree well with a more accurate radioactive assay. Attention is drawn to the fact that,
Rat skeletal myoblasts, L6 and L8, have two major forms of phosphodiesterases, PDE II and PDE III. Only the former is activated by treatment with proteases. When the myoblasts are exposed to cAMP for 10-16 h, the activity of PDE III increases considerably. This increase is accompanied by a loss of a
Adenyl cyclase and 3',5'-AMP1 have been implicated in the hormonal control mechanism of several biochemical reactions (1) and therefore the measurement of 3',5'-AMP in biological material is of interest. In the method of assay used by Rall and Sutherland (2, 3) and later modified by Brown, Clarke, R
