Claude generated 318,484 scorpion-toxin protein designs in 64 hours
Claude generated 318,484 protein designs aimed at five scorpion neurotoxins in 64 hours. Anthropic and Citrini sent 211 designs to Adaptyv Bio and Twist Bioscience for automated testing, and 17 showed binding.
That is an 8% hit rate for binding, not proof of a treatment. None of the 17 has demonstrated that it neutralizes a toxin or works in patients, so the next hurdle is biological performance rather than generating more candidates.
