Radio-frequency reflectometry on large gated two-dimensional systems.

We have embedded an AlGaAs/GaAs based, gated two-dimensional (2D) hole system (2DHS) into an impedance transformer LC circuit and show that by using radio-frequency reflectometry it is possible to perform sensitive, large bandwidth, electrical resistance measurements of 2D systems at millikelvin temperatures. We construct a simple lumped element model where the gated 2DHS is described as a resistive transmission line. The model gives a qualitative understanding of the experimental results.

Location of three key enzymes of gluconeogenesis in baker's yeast.

The subcellular location of hexose diphosphatase, phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase and pyruvate carboxylase in baker's yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) was investigated by density gradient centrifugation of spheroplast lysates obtained by osmotic shock treatment of spheroplasts and centrifugation for 10000 g x min. On the evidence obtained from zonal separations these three enzymes of gluconeogenesis are most probably located in the soluble cytosol.

Distribution of membranes, especially of plasma-membrane fragments, during zonal centrifugations of homogenates from glucose-repressed Saccharomyces Cerevisiae.

1. The distributions of several enzymes and other marker components were examined after zonal centrifugations of whole homogenates from glucose-repressed Saccharomyces cerevisiae on sucrose and iso-osmotic Ficoll, and the composition and morphology of the fractions were investigated. 2.
