[The effect of Cu2+, Zn2+ cations and biogenic amines on the nuclear poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase activity in the rat brain].

Study of the effects of Cu2+, Zn2+ cations and polyamines, spermine and spermidine, on the nuclear poly(ADP-ribose)polymerase activity of rat brain was carried out. It was shown that low concentrations of Cu2+ stimulate the activity of purified poly(ADP-ribose)polymerase. The poly(ADP-ribose)polymerase activity was increased 1.
