The Kadoma City Library, outside of Osaka, Japan, was designed with a café-like vibe. The library's concept is "enjoying reading with coffee." Because beverages and books don't… core77.com/posts/144178/Libr… #LibraryDesign #CoffeeCulture #InteriorDesign #FurnitureDesign #ReadingNook

Bazı mekanlar sadece taş ve betondan ibaret değildir; bir ruhu ve fısıldadığı hikayeleri vardır. Cumhurbaşkanlığı Kütüphanesi’nin büyüleyici simetrisinde, sadece kitapları değil, huzuru da bulmak mümkün.

Interpretable and Scalable Similarity Metrics for DNA-Encoded Library Design Using Generative Topographic Mapping 1. This study explores the use of Generative Topographic Mapping (GTM) for selecting DNA-encoded libraries (DELs), offering a scalable and interpretable method to balance similarity to a reference compound collection and intra-library diversity. 2. GTM allows for the representation of each library as a “stand-alone” vector, avoiding costly pairwise similarity calculations and enabling the analysis of thousands of DEL designs. 3. The research demonstrates that GTM-based metrics robustly approximate conventional compound pair-based metrics, with Spearman rank correlations in the 0.6–0.7 range, indicating effective library selection. 4. GTM provides two-dimensional landscapes that visually represent intra- and inter-library diversity, supporting rapid and interpretable screening of alternative DEL designs. 5. The study shows that GTM can identify DELs that best span the reference space, achieving enrichment factors of 4–12 at the 5% top-ranked libraries, and consistently selecting top libraries according to both coverage and mean pairwise similarity. 6. The authors provide a comprehensive workflow for comparing GTM-based metrics with initial descriptor space metrics, using 100 diverse DEL subsets and a reference set of compounds tested against cyclin-dependent kinase 2 (CDK2). 7. GTM-derived metrics enable the selection of libraries that balance high similarity to the reference set with broad coverage of its chemical space, while preserving intra-DEL diversity, making it a valuable tool for chemical library similarity assessment. 8. The study concludes that combining fingerprint-based metrics with GTM-derived measures allows for both rigorous numerical comparisons and visual insights, facilitating more informed diversity assessment and library selection in the era of ultra-large chemical collections. 📜Paper: doi.org/10.26434/chemrxiv-20… #Chemoinformatics #GenerativeTopographicMapping #DNALibraries #ChemicalSpace #LibraryDesign
