The Winner of the Amino Acid Swag Tournament is...
Hello, hello, hello everyone!
Yes, I am actually alive. Surprise, surprise! I would have updated this sooner, but I had been busy with school and then I went on vacation with my friends. It was pretty fun, thanks for asking.
I really am sorry, though, for taking this long to finally finish this tournament. It was constantly in the back of my head. I didn’t expect life to get this hectic.
Now, let’s finally close this tournament. Tumblr has made a decision on which of the twenty aminoacids is the most based, the most legit, the most astounding!
Ladies, gentlemen, and fellow esteemed guests, it is a great pleasure, honor and privilege to announce that, after five rounds of intense fighting, the winner of the amino acid swag tournament is...
Glycine vs Tryptophan => TRYPTOPHAN

Fun facts about our winner:
1. Tryptophan’s side chain is an indole.
2. It’s a precursor of melatonin, serotonin and vitamin B3
3. It is considered an essential amino acid, because humans can’t synthesize it by themselves. We can only obtain it via our diets.
4. Along with methionine (who got eliminated in the first round. press F to pay respects), tryptophan is only encoded by one codon. In its case, it’s UGG. Yes, UGG. Like the fucking boots.
With that, this tournament has been concluded. It was such a fun journey and I really enjoyed it. I hope you guys enjoyed it, too.
I think I will keep this blog, but I won’t be active as much. You can check out my other tournament @bestclone-tournament​ if you want to experience more of my shenanigans. This tournament has also been kept temporarily on hold until I can go through all my submissions, but you can stick around, if you’d like. I may also use this blog to promote other contests. I dunno. We’ll see.

Can we get some appreciation for tyrosine pleaseeee? Tyrosine phosphorylation is an important part of a bunch of different signalling pathways.
I agree! It's so important! What would we even do without it???

Hi everyone! If you're interested in more polls more focused on science, this new one I'm starting may be the one for you!
Welcome people! As a biotech student (still) obsessed with fandom, I decided to combine my two favorite things: blorbos and unethical science practices!
That’s why I am starting…
THE BEST CLONE TOURNAMENT!
Submit your favorite blorbos that happen to be clones and watch them fight to death! You can submit by following the following link:
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1eZqZDaLJkYAdRbEKE2-ZGL4sUhzqDceBTGLJ-ogXMak/edit
SUBMISSION RULES:
1. Fictional characters only, obviously. However, Dolly the Sheep (the first clone of a mammal to have survived) will automatically be in the tournament. If any of you can think of any irl famous cloned animals and want to submit them, you’re more than welcome to do so.
2. I will allow the submission process to last about 1 week.
3. If the fact that the character is a clone is a crucial point in the media the character is in, and the reveal could be considered a spoiler, please inform me in the submission form so i can tag accordingly.
I don’t know how many characters will end up in the tournament. that depends on the number of submissions. The tournament may take a while to start, because I am busy with my other ongoing tournament @aminoacid-swag-tournament (which you are more than welcome to check out) as well as just regular life. Please be patient.
Also, if there’s a piece of media with many clones (like Star Wars), I will handle it this way: If I only get a few submissions for a few characters, I don’t mind putting the individual characters in the tournament. however, if I get multiple submissions for multiple characters, I will most probably consider having all of them as a group (for example ‘The Clone Army from Star Wars’).
The tags I will be using are:
#bestclone tournament for the polls
#bestclone admin for any posts related to the tournament
#bestclone ask for any asks you guys send me
#bestclone propaganda for any propaganda you send me, in any form
Obviously, any hateful comments, rebloggs, asks or anything will be deleted. We may be endorsing morally ambiguous biological techniques, but online hate is where we cross the line! /s
Have fun!
I am tagging for more visibility: @mad-scientist-showdown, @besttship, @weirdgirlshowdown, @worst-fictional-cook-showdown, @may-the-best-penguin-win, @bisexual-monarch-tournament.

If we can place bets: I think tryptophan is gonna win, because his name is very different from the others, he's just Not Like Other Aminoacids
I see your point... Also, tryptophan was mentioned in one Phineas and Ferb episode, so I think that non-scientists voting may remember it more.

As you can see, this round will include a three-way battle, between some of the most popular aminoacids. I am really thrilled to see how it will go down.
