This week at @northumbriauni.bsky.social we launched our new #HPC cluster Higgs, having been involved in shaping this project from the outset it's nice to see it finally come to fruition with our partners #Logicalis and #Lenovo. l'm looking forward to all the research our new cluster will enable.

Been exploring some of the breathtaking John Portman architecture in Atlanta while at #SC24

Nice to see this CPS-1, duel CPU 68000/Z80 set-up at #SC24, it's all about those custom chips too! #retrogaming

Interestingly if we look at promiscuous superfamilies' (those binding multiple ligands) we find they can fall into "generalised" - binding a wide range of chemically diverse ligands or "specialised" - binding some very chemically similar ligands, categories.

This the work of my PhD student Matt Crown, one of the nice things he did was this t-SNE plot of cognate ligand space within the PDB, in which we see some nice clusters of related compounds.
