Claude Science tackles deadly scorpion stings by designing protein binders from scratch

Anthropic's Claude independently designed protein binders against deadly scorpion neurotoxins, with 17 of 211 lab-tested designs meeting criteria out of more than 318,000 generated, according to The Decoder. The two strongest binders attach tightly to Cn2, a toxin from a Mexican scorpion, though whether they function as an antivenom remains an open question.

Anthropic's Claude independently designed protein binders targeting deadly scorpion neurotoxins. Out of more than 318,000 designs, 211 were tested in the lab. Seventeen met the criteria, and the two strongest bind extremely tightly to Cn2, a toxin from a Mexican scorpion. Whether they actually work as antivenom remains an open question.
