title: Identification of the 5'-nucleotidase activity altered in neurological syndromes.
abstract: 5'-Nucleotidases comprise a family of enzymes involved in the regulation of intracellular and extracellular nucleotide concentration. There is increasing knowledge about an involvement of these activities in the aetiology of neurological disorders. In this paper we present a protocol for the identification of the altered enzyme in fibroblasts primary culture from patients and controls.
