title: Adenosine-5-monophosphate catabolism in frog liver.
abstract: 1. AMP catabolism in frog liver extract was found to proceed exclusively through the formation of IMP. Further metabolism of IMP is relatively slow. 2. Among the enzymes involved in AMP catabolism, AMP deaminase is most active and adenosine deaminase and AMP 5'-nucleotidase exhibit only 20 and 10% of AMP deaminase activity respectively.
