Filter paper disk techniques for assay of nucleotidase
1977
A DE filter disk technique for assaying the activity of nucleotidase is described. This method is based on the observation that nucleotides bind to the filters at 5 mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.8) while nucleosides do not. As parameter for the nucleotidase activity the decrease of bound nucleotides is determined. In parallel experiments the amount of the product (nucleoside) formed can be measured by DEAE Sephadex column chromatography. The filter disk technique can be applied for the determination of vmax and Km of a nucleotidase by using different ribonucleosidase monophosphate substrates.
Histamine-sensitive adenylate cyclase of human gastric mucosa: a model for H2-receptor excitation.
1978
Recent studies revealed that human gastric mucosa contains a histamine-sensitive adenylate cyclase which is almost completely localized within the acid-secreting area of the stomach. In an attempt to further characterize the effector system of histamine’s action, we compared the effects of H 1 — and H 2-receptor agonists upon the adenylate cyclase in human fundic gastric mucosa.
