The 5'-nucleotidase of plasma membranes of cultured skin fibroblasts from patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy had a reduced affinity for its substrate, 5'-AMP. The Arrhenius plot of the temperature dependence of this enzyme activity was normal. There was no difference between patients and controls in the specific 5'-nucleotidase activity in the whole cell homogenates.
