The complex study of phosphohydrolases (Mg2+ATPase, Na+,K+ATPase) and adenylate cyclase in gonococci, both in vivo and in vitro, and in phagocytes in gonococcal infection has been carried out with the use of ultracytochemical techniques. The enzymatic activity in the cellular structures of micro- and macroorganisms under study has been visualized. The prospects of the ultracytochemical approach to the study of the enzymes of nucleotide metabolism, their role in the life of eu- and prokaryotes, as well as the ways for affecting the enzymatic systems of cells are discussed.
