Ammonium malate refers to organic compounds containing malate and ammonium. Two stoichiometries are discussed: NH4H(C2H3OH(CO2)2) with one ammonium ion per formula unit, and (NH4)2(C2H3OH(CO2)2). Malate, the conjugate base of malic acid, is chiral. Consequently a variety of salts are possible, R vs S vs racemic. Th...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ZNF367
Zinc finger protein 367 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ZNF367 gene. The human gene is also known as ZFF29 and CDC14B; the orthologue in mice is Zfp367. ZNF367 contains a unique Cys2His2 zinc finger motif and is a member of the zinc finger protein family. Model organisms Model organisms have been used i...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perturbed%20angular%20correlation
The perturbed γ-γ angular correlation, PAC for short or PAC-Spectroscopy, is a method of nuclear solid-state physics with which magnetic and electric fields in crystal structures can be measured. In doing so, electrical field gradients and the Larmor frequency in magnetic fields as well as dynamic effects are determine...
