Each year, snake bites kill upwards of 100,000 people and permanently disable hundreds of thousands more, according to estimates from the World Health Organization. Promising new science, enabled by ...

Now that the toxin’s mechanism of action has been revealed it may be possible to produce an extremely effective anti-venom that will aid in mitigating the effects of a bite, whether it be in an ...

Research highlights the potential of deep learning in creating proteins that neutralize snake venom, offering new solutions for neglected tropical diseases.

The current way to produce antivenoms is antiquated. Experiments in mice suggest that an artificial intelligence approach could save time and money.

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 ...

It has been a few years since AI began successfully tackling the challenge of predicting the three-dimensional structure of proteins, complex molecules that are essential for all life. Next-generation ...

Researchers have created new proteins that neutralize lethal toxins found in snake venom, potentially offering a safer and more effective alternative to traditional antivenoms. According to the ...
