title: Some properties of adenylate cyclase which might be important for memory formation.
abstract: Analysis of the biochemical defects detected in a Drosophila memory mutant permits dissection of properties of adenylate cyclase which may play a role in elementary memory mechanisms. Of special relevance appear to be those properties which are related to the intracellular regulation of the enzyme.
