Methods in Enzymology. Volume XXXVIII, Hormone Action, Part C, Cyclic Nucleotides

چکیده
In this and the previous volume on lipids, Vol. XXXIV, Lowenstein has assembled two of the stronger recent volumes in this series. The first volume dealt with the enzymes of lipid synthesis and degradation, general analytical methods, and the preparation of substrates. This new volume is divided into the same sections, although the bulk of the book is concerned with enzymes. I think this is the proper emphasis since there are several recent books on analytical methods. Lowenstein has been highly selective in his choice of material and has assembled it in a convenient and cogent format. This volume will be of considerable use to any worker in the field of lipid enzymology. I should repeat that the quality of the two volumes of this series on lipids is unusually high. Some of the other recent volumes are of lesser utility. It is possible that the complexity inherent in the editing of this series has contributed to this variability. For instance, the same article on protein modification appears verbatim in two different volumes on protein structure. The publishers should reevaluate their approach to this series such that all volumes represent a high ratio of useful information to price (as do those edited by Lowenstein).

Details of the purification and characterization of protein regulators of these enzymes as well as a detailed paper on cyclic GMP-dependent protein kinases provide a valuable background for areas that have only recently emerged at the forefront of cylic nucleotide research. A discussion of two areas of the cyclic nucleotide field, which deserve mention in a volume of this type, appears to have ...

The effect of dibutyryl cyclic adenosine 3',5'-monophosphate upon calcium and phosphate metabolism in thyroparathyroidectomized rats was undertaken in an effort to clarify the possible role of adenosine 3',5'-monophosphate (3',5' AMP) in parathyroid hormone action. The infusion of dibutyryl cyclic 3',5' AMP at a rate of 3 mg/hr into thyroparathyroidectomized rats leads to changes in calcium, ph...
