Claude designs 318,484 protein binders against scorpion toxins; 17 of 211 lab-tested designs bind

Anthropic's Claude, working inside its Claude Science environment, largely autonomously designed protein binders against five neurotoxins from four scorpion species. Of 211 designs tested in the lab, 17 met the criteria for a binder, and two independent labs confirmed the results. Whether any of them work as an antivenom has not been tested.
