"Identify the molecule" league. Progress so far. “Molecule of the Year” stage is coming
(Myoglobin. It's the protein carrying oxygen in the muscle tissue of vertebrate. It was chosen as the emblem for the league 'cause is was the first protein with its three-dimensional structure/atomic structure revealed in 1958. The image was created by me with the help of PyMol - open source tool for molecular visualization/exploration. PDB-file was obtained from PDB. You can see a heme at the center of the molecule)
In this post I‘d like to share some results and news about "Identify the molecule" league.
Even though I mentioned in this post
"Identify the molecule" contest. Upgrade (the league, additional bonuses and more)
that “Molecule of the Year” stage is supposed to happen in October, 2020, because I didn’t provide the riddles for some weeks in September/October, 2019,
I’d like “The molecule of the Year” stage to happen this week (September 5), ‘cause the league started roughly 1 year ago (in August 31, 2019) and I didn’t provide the riddles for quite a lot of weeks thereafter anyway (so that we would need to delay it even more to compensate for the missing weeks).
Here’s the full list of the riddles presented this year along with the winners and molecules for each week:

Promotion of scientific knowledge will always be the main goal here, and the knowledge people acquire will always be the main prize here. But we also have some monetary bonuses.
As mentioned here
"Identify the molecule" contest. Upgrade (the league, additional bonuses and more)
if you win in the week’s stage, you can compete for the bigger bonuses in the “Molecule of the month” stage. And if you win in the latter stage, you get a chance to compete for the bigger bonuses in the “Molecule of the year” stage.
And you can see results of "Molecule of the month" stages below:
September/October
no winners. The league has been paused.
November
no winners
December
marcusantoniu26
January
no winners
February
no participants
March
professorbromide
April
bowess
May

delilhavores
August
will be announced tomorrow
So, we have 4 users (@marcusantoniu26, @professorbromide, @bowess, and @delilhavores)
who have won in the “Molecule of the month” stage and now have a chance to compete for the “Molecule of the Year” stage winner’s title and bonuses which for them are going to be:
100 Hive, 2000 STEM, 10000 CCC, 2000 PAL and 2000 TMN
For the rest of the users who will participate in the “Molecule of the Year” (and who haven’t won in the “Molecule of the month” stage) the bonuses are as follows:
20 Hive, 1000 STEM, 5000 CCC, 1000 PAL and 1000 TMN
This sounds great! :)
Thank you for the mention and for your interest for the chemistry world, I think this is a very beautiful contest, one of the best here on Hive in my opinion.
Have a nice day! :)
