“…However, Erlichman, Rosenfeld & Rosen (1974) and Rangel-Aldao & Rosen (1976), also using the protein kinase of cardiac tissue, found no change in the cyclic AMP binding characteristics after autophosphorylation. Furthermore, despite the fact that observed competition for cyclic AMP binding sites by ATP, ADP and AMP at concentrations above 2-4 x 10-7 mol/1, Brown, Albano, Barnes & Ekins (1973) state that their assay, which also uses the bovine adrenal cortex binding protein, is sensitive enough to allow a 1:10 dilution of sample before cyclic AMP assay, thus eliminating interference by enzyme assay com-ponents. Albano, Maudsley, Brown & Barnes (1973) used this assay to study adenylate cyclase in kidney, pituitary and adrenal tissue of the rat.…”
