A column chromatogrnphic sy;itrm has been developed for isolation and purification of cAMP and cGMP simultnneously from small tissue samples. In this system, a column of neutral aluminum oxide equilibrated in Tris-HCl buffer, pH 7.5 was used to purify cyclic nucleotides from olhe~ nucleotides in non

✦ Synopsis
Adenyl cyclase (AC) and cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase (PDE) have been studied in muscle from patients affected with muscular and neuromuscular diseases as well as in muscle of rats after experimental denervation. A diminution of AC was observed in Duchenne's dystrophy, in neurogenic atrophies, in inflammatory forms, in myasthenia and myotonia. PDE was diminished in Duchenne's dystrophy and increased in all other diseases considered. Both enzymes were increased in rat muscle after nerve transection. The possible mechanism underlying the biochemical alterations observed are discussed including unmasking of extra-activity due to changed metabolic environment, tissue destruction and activation of lysosomal activity.

Exogenous cAMP or its analogs inhibit the mycelium transformation of yeast and induce bulging of the apex of mycelia. But intracellular cAMP levels of yeast and mycelial cells are not significantly different.
Rates of synthesis of cyclic 3',5'-adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) were measured in cultures of Escherichia coli aerating without a carbon source. This technique provides a representative measure of adenylate cyclase activity in the absence of inhibition caused by transport of the carbon source. Aden
