Mice given lethal dose of venom all survive 15 minutes later via AI protein

A mouse living an extra 15 minutes does not seem like an amazing result. However the problem space is relivant as there are estimates of 58,000 people dying from snake bit in India every year. If you bump that up to 100,000 to cover the rest of the world and that moves this research into something that could be really useful , IF it opened up new therapeutics that were easier to manufacture, transport and store.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.smithsonianmag.com&#x2F;science-nature&#x2F;an-inside-look-at-the-effort-to-curb-deadly-snakebites-in-india-180983267&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.smithsonianmag.com&#x2F;science-nature&#x2F;an-inside-look...</a>

Researchers have used artificial intelligence (AI) to develop proteins that can block the deadly effects of snake venom. They used a protein-design program called RFdiffusion to design ‘mini-binder’ proteins that attach to key regions of venom toxins to neutralize them. Mice injected with what would be a lethal dose of the venom all survived when given these mini-binders 15 minutes later. “This is probably the coolest experimental result I’ve had in my career so far,” says biochemist Susana Vázquez Torres.
