Anthropic and Citrini Research use an internal Claude model to autonomously generate protein minibinders against five scorpion neurotoxins, testing 211 designs (Anthropic)
Seventeen of the 211 tested designs bound to targets across four scorpion toxins.
Claude generated roughly 318,000 candidates and selected 211 for laboratory testing, according to the account in Techmeme’s note. The design campaign used more than 300 AI agents and took 64 hours; initial lab results took 39 days. The project sought candidates for an experimental antivenom. Binding results alone do not establish an effective treatment.
