"This is probably the coolest experimental result I've had in my career so far," said biochemist Susana Vázquez Torres.

Researchers have successfully designed two proteins to neutralize some of the most lethal venom toxins, using a suite of artificial intelligence tools, per a study published January 15 in the ...

In their testing, the researchers determined that the toxin can put down a mouse inside of 30 seconds. But as deadly as the creature’s venom is, the study has produced some good news for would ...

To determine how the peptide and the complete toxin differed, the researchers isolated the native peptide (Consomatin nG1) from C. geographus venom. Then, they screened for peptide sequences with high ...

Artificial intelligence could take the bite out of snake venom. Using AI, scientists have designed proteins that say not so fassst to toxins wielded by cobras and other venomous snakes.

Researchers have created new proteins that neutralize lethal toxins found in snake venom, potentially offering ... venomous snakebites affect between 1.8 and 2.7 million people each year, leading ...

This technique for delivering toxins has been observed in other organisms — for example, spitting cobras can spray adversaries with venom too. Toxins that are externally applied in this fashion ...

Details of the work are published in a Nature paper titled, “De novo designed proteins neutralize lethal snake venom toxins.” The study, which was done in mice, focuses on a class of snake ...
