title: Measurement of adenylyl cyclase by separating cyclic AMP on silica gel thin-layer chromatography.
abstract: A procedure for isolation of cyclic AMP (cAMP) by thin-layer chromatography on silica gel is described. One-dimensional ascending chromatograms were developed using [H(2)O/C(2)H(5)OH/NH(4)HCO(3) (30%:70%:0.2M)] as the mobile phase. This procedure separated [32P]cAMP from other radioactive metabolites of [32P]ATP in up to 19 samples on one sheet (20 x 10 cm) over 40-60 min at room temperature (21 degrees C). This simple and rapid isolation method provides a novel and convenient technique for the assay of adenylyl cyclase.
