Abstract: | A rapid method for the measurement of γ-32P]ATP specific radioactivity in tissue extracts containing other 32P-labeled compounds is described. The neutralized acid extract is incubated with cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase, cyclic AMP and casein. The incorporation of 32P into casein from γ-32P]ATP is measured by perchloric acid precipitation of the protein on filter paper. 32P-Casein formation is linearly related to the specific radioactivity of the γ-32P]ATP. Separation of ATP from other 32P-labeled compounds is not required for the assay. Application of this method in the evaluation of γ-32P]ATP specific radioactivity in two rat cardiac muscle preparations exposed to 32Pi is demonstrated. |
